It's Hebrew and means Present or Gift. The usual spelling is Shai, but still pronounced as 'Shay'

Like it as short for Seamus. And Shay Given is very handsome!

I don't like the name tbh. But what is with the 'e' on the end of it? Better without.

I don't like it. Seamus is nice though.

Shay is short for Seamus, and is OK in that context. Shaye on its own is horrid.

I prefer Seamus. I would let the nn Shay 'evolve' even if it's what you planned. Just shay seems a bit..... incomplete. Shane is a very normal name in Ireland for men my age.

Terrible.
Seamus is much better.

Not to my taste. Seems a bit of a non-name, especially with the 'e' on the end.

Like it a lot. Lose the 'e' though.

I thought it was a girl's name with the E on the end. Shay short for Seamus is what everyone would think; the Hebrew reference would be lost. I like Shay though.

I like it without an e and as a nickname for Seamus. However, I have taught a girl called it - think its nicer for a boy!
