So i was planning on naming my daughter Raven, she's due in September, but i found a really nice unusual name but i don't know what other people would think about it, Shado. What do you think of the name Shado? TIA

Raven is nice

Looks like it should be pronounced Shaydo though. For Shadow just spell it Shadow or Shaddo. It's probably still a bad choice though.

I love Raven but would be a bit daft in a blonde haired blue eyed girl so unless you and DP are both dark hair/skin I'd avoid. Shado is better for a puppy IMO. Sorry.

I don't like either. Shado (like shadow?) especially.

I don't like either. A Raven is a big, sinister looking bird and Shado sounds made-up.

They're both very... extreme, rather than just unusual.

daytrogen · 22/05/2021 21:48

How is it pronounced?

DramaAlpaca · 22/05/2021 21:47

Pronounced like shadow? No, not good. Raven is better.

Arbadacarba · 22/05/2021 21:47

I prefer Raven. I'm not sure how you'd pronounce Shado but it's too similar to 'Shadow'.

DinosaurDiana · 22/05/2021 21:47

I like Raven.

AlmostSummer21 · 22/05/2021 21:46

Neither are my taste.

Pronounced how?
