Shae for a girl?

I just made a post for Shiloh but my partner has now thrown Shae into the mix. We like gender neutral names but I particularly like Shae for a girl. What are your thoughts? Also would you spell it Shae/Shea/Shay/Shaye?

It's more of a sound than an actual name. Is there nothing more defined that you like - Faye or Shane or Sia?

Not nice

Reminds me of che Guevara

But desperate sounding

Also 'she's Shae, isn't she?' 'what did Shae say'

Horrible, ugly name.

Prostitute in game of thrones? I wouldn't

Oh dear, why would you do that to your child ?

Were you hoping for a boy ?

you do realise the child has to live with that name for the rest of it's life - tho of course s/he can legally change their name when older by deed pole.

clearly you don't expect your child to do well in life by giving it a stupid name ?

Sorry, no

CaptainMyCaptain · 01/03/2024 18:04

No.

RichPetunia · 01/03/2024 18:03

No to both Shiloh and Shae, I'm afraid.

BromCavMum · 01/03/2024 18:00

After the Game of thrones character? I wouldn't

Looks like a typo for Shame

I taught a Che and a Shay, both boys. The only Shae I've heard of is the prostitute who shags Tyrion in Game of Thrones. Shea is a moisturising cream.

MrsArcher23 · 01/03/2024 17:56

Is it pronounced the same as Shay for a boy?

JanewaysBun · 01/03/2024 17:52

I knew a lovely Shae, beautiful on her tho i have other preferences for my DC

I'd spell it 'no way' but I'm just in a bitchy mood. Hope this gives you a bump though for a constructive poster to post
