What’s your thoughts on s boys names can anyone help? I like

sean
simon
sonny
shane
shai
Sylvester lol but no one else does
any thoughts on these? Are the popular? Rubbish?

our surname begins with s and thought it would be nice

if it were a girl we’d probably have gone with summer or shania however just had boy confirmed at 20 weeks

l I also like A names
so any boys that begin with a A

oh and I prefer names that are not in the top 100 as I work in a school and am put off many popular names

I actually had no idea what that meant but after looking at google I finally figured out what you meant unfortunately I never studied history so had no idea of the association
im not sure in another two decades if other people would either anyway there’s a few famous people who have it. Sadie Sink, Sarah Silverman, Steven Spielberg, Sharon Stone, Sylvester Stallone. Having a middle name/ initial would surely help which they will and will be a J
I’m pretty sure I know a few others that are ss initials too lots of my friends are Sarah’s and some are Stephen’s and some have s surnames
i don’t think I am worried about this

No, I wouldn't worry about it either. Every workplace I've worked in has used my surname in full not just initials in my email address. And there are sooo many famous ss initials- Susan Sarandon, Stellan Skarsgard, Sarah Snook, Susan Sontag, Sam Simmonds (if you are a rugby fan...). There must be loads.

Nothing wrong with Shay, although I think that would be the preferred spelling.

Our friend Sylvester is mostly known as Syl.
