Shireen? What do you think?

[sliversloth]

What do you think of the girls name Shireen?

[LenoVintura]

Game of Thrones. Burnt at the stake.

[Stressedoutaboutinlaws]

I would think its not a name...

[Pantalaimon88]

Yup, it just makes me think of the poor little girl from GoT who was burnt at the stake by her crazy parents.

It’s a no from me.

[meganxz]

It means sweetie in my language, if we see something sweet or call children sweetheart we would say "shireen/shireenak"

Take that away from my thinking, I don't really think it's a nice name tbh

[Kyvia]

Scarred by a horrendous childhood disease and then publicly burned at the stake by her parents.

Not a great story behind the name.

[nespressowoo]

Terrible

[Sexnotgender]

Terrible.

[Aposterhasnoname]

I love it. It’s very game of thrones, but nowhere near as bad as khaleesi. I’d use it.

[EnsignRoLaren]

I know a Sherene who is thoroughly lovely, but I would not go with the GOT spelling.

[sliversloth]

I've never seen game of thrones, I knew there was a character called Shireen but I didn't know anything about it. Not a great story but surely people will forget about it a few years down the line

[LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD]

It’s an Persian name (Shirin).

[LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD]

‘An’ Persian? Duh.

[LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD]

@meganxzjoon 😉

[daisypond]

I know a Shireen - in her mid 50s. Of Persian descent.

[Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav]

I'd think you meant charlene

[LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD]

Different name.

[IVflytrap]

I know it was a name long before Game of Thrones, but the first thing I think of is the character who was murdered by her religious fanatic parents.

[sliversloth]

I've been looking for Persian names so that's partly why I've been thinking about using Shireen but it's had very negative comments so maybe not

[DontCallMeShitley]

Sounds like something from a sewing machine, sorry.

[InsertFunnyUsername]

I do think of GOT but I like it.

[Noroof]

Ok if you're from the Glasgow area then its slang for your fanny. So no.

[Oopsinamechangedagain2020]

I knew a Sherene and Sirin when I was growing up both pronouced the same way. I think it's a lovely name but I don't like the way you've spelt it.

[Shakirasma]

My neighbour ( aged in her 20s) is called Shireen, close family call her Reen and Reenie. I like it.

[LookingGlassMilk]

I love it, it's the name of a childhood friend. There was another girl in my year at school with the same name. They would both be in their mid 30s now. I don't consider it to be a rare or unusual name, I'm surprised at the reaction of some posters.

[ButterflyBitch]

Pretty sure it was the name of Rose Tyler’s friend on Doctor Who
I’d go with it’s a bit chav but feel free to ignore me
