Neither. They are both american sounding fakey Irish type names.

Plus one is a boys name and one is a girls name.

Shay of your first two. But Shawna probably my overall favourite. I like Shona too - actually, they're all good names not helpful

Shona is the anglicized spelling of the name Seonaid which is the Scottish Gaelic form of Janet.

I have Scottish roots. So that would be nice.

How many bloody threads do you need? Can you contact MNHQ and get them to delete some? One thread is enough.
