Definitely not spelt Chelly though!!

Shae is only "prostitute in Game of Thrones" to me. Never heard of Shay as a girl's name. Shula is a character in The Archers - it means "flame" in Arabic, apparently. The elephant character in Bing is Sula.

Mrsknackered · 12/05/2017 14:43

I love Shea. But yes I suppose Shay will suffice.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/05/2017 14:35

I like Shula OP.😄

isupposeitsverynice · 12/05/2017 13:44

Isn't there a Shula in Bing? I think it's the elephant

TheNaze73 · 12/05/2017 13:42

I know a female Shay. Pretty name.

RortyCrankle · 12/05/2017 13:41

Neither

SummerRayne17 · 12/05/2017 11:47

Shayla is pretty for a girl.

user1493022461 · 12/05/2017 11:46

user1493022461 · 12/05/2017 09:59

Shaney is just a cutesy for a boy named Shane.

it isn't a name for a girl.

glasshill · 12/05/2017 09:49

Shayna means pretty/lovely in Yiddish.

(My grandad used to call me 'shayna maydel' - 'lovely girl' - sweet memories Smile)

I'd prefer a name starting with "Sh" if possible, elephant.

CricketRuntAndRashers · 12/05/2017 00:19

I quite like Shailene. :)

WyfOfBathe · 12/05/2017 00:13

Shay for a boy, Shayna for a girl.
I agree.

Or what about Shailene? (actress in the fault in our stars)

WellErrr · 12/05/2017 00:07
