My 14 year old dd fav place to shop (yes, I’m no fan of fast fashion either!) but how to you actually pronounce it?
Most people I know say ‘Sheen’ but I’ve heard ‘Shine’, ‘Sheyene’, ‘Shayne’ etc,
I did hear that it was originally called ‘She Inside’ then the company changed it to ‘She-in’!

Shane or Shee-inn.

It's one of those words I try never to say out loud because I just don't know. Other such words include viva and stalwart.

I speak German, so I automatically go to an ‘i’ sound for an ‘ei’ combination, so instinctively I’d say ‘shine’,

TheCanyon · 15/07/2022 10:40

Shite or She-in if I'm feeling generous.

MmeMeursault · 15/07/2022 10:43
