Thoughts on Shauna for a girl? I’ve just heard this name for the first time whilst watching Yellowjackets with my niece and quite like it. It’s different without being too unusual. As names are on my mind, I should probably stay away from all media whilst pregnant. 🙈

Shona is a better spelling

I'm Scottish and Seonaid /Shona is not 'unusual' or 'different'. It's like being called Janet.

I don't think this is Sheonagh/Shona though (which I agree are perfectly normal in Scotland, if a bit dated) - more like Sean-a/Shaun-a. Although I've not seen Yellowjackets and might be wrong. I taught a Shauna once, little English girl with a Glaswegian mum. I prefer it in a Scottish accent to an English one.

Dated. One of my favourite bits in Ferris Bueller's Day Off is when his sister tells bad boy Charlie Sheen (in the police station) that her name is 'Jean - but lots of the guys call me Shauna'.

It's her attempt to be cool and edgy.😂

I prefer Shona and Lorna, but it’s ok.

One of my best friends is Shauna. It's a pretty name and also unusual.
