This name is becoming increasingly popular in Brazil after internet influencers Christian Figueiredo and Zoo named their first son Gael. In fact, it was the 2nd most common name for baby boys in Sao Paulo in 2022 (https://www.arpensp.org.br/noticia/cartorios-de-sao-paulo-divulgam-ranking-de-nomes-–-agora-mutaveis-–-mais-registrados-em-2022) We pronounce it “ga-EHL” (similar to the French version).

There's a couple of well known women with this name (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ga%C3%ABl_(given_name)), and its inherent meaning is also unisex ("person of gaelic descent", "person who speaks gaelic", etc), so I believe it'd be correct to change the categorization to be marked as unisex. This would help people who are looking for unisex names.
