What do you all think? Honest opinions please.

[I admit to loving it partly because of Shia LaBeouf. Swoon!]

change one letter and it's shit.

so,........ no.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 11/01/2011 08:16

Is it a boy or girl name? how would you pronounce it? and like valium said, a slip of the pen and you're up shit creek.

Deciduousblonde · 11/01/2011 09:43

Who is Shia LaBeouf? I think Shia looks more like a girls name.

BuntyPenfold · 11/01/2011 10:16

My brain says Butter.

purplefeet · 11/01/2011 10:50

Sorry, don't like it.

I thought shit then cocoa buter.

HelenaRose · 11/01/2011 11:46

I was thinking of the Shia/Sunni conflict...

But Shia LaBeouf is rather dashing, isn't it? :o

MistletoeMush · 11/01/2011 12:39

I thought Shia/Sunni too

PuraVida · 11/01/2011 12:42

Shia / Sunni here too

chaya5738 · 11/01/2011 13:10

You have to be kidding?

PolythenePam · 11/01/2011 13:13

No.
There is a very popular up and coming (and rather yummy) actor called Shia around atm.

It will look as though you've named your kid after him.

PolythenePam · 11/01/2011 13:13

Ah sorry - I see that IS your reasoning.

Still no.

ShowOfHands · 11/01/2011 13:15

My dh is the spitting image of Shia Laboeuf. We watched Transformers and dd kept asking why her daddy was fighting robots.

cocoachannel · 11/01/2011 13:18

Now that's just showing off S0H Wink

ShowOfHands · 11/01/2011 13:19

I speak only the truth. Grin

ShowOfHands · 11/01/2011 13:22

God they even pose the same way.
Shia.

Pic of dh on my profile. 5th or 6th pic down ish.

PolythenePam · 11/01/2011 14:09

I don't think your dh looks like Shia Labeouf at all. He's tidy and all that, but he other than having eyes and a nose and stuff, the resemblence is far from uncanny.

talkingnonsense · 11/01/2011 14:13

No! I think they look really alike! Lucky soh!

PolythenePam · 11/01/2011 14:15

Well yes - he is quite the dish!

Firawla · 11/01/2011 14:15

makes me think of shia as in sunni/shia too and tbh i would find it a really weird name if i came across someone called this, really dislike it.
if you're that keen i would keep it as a middle name atleast, rather than as the first name?

ShowOfHands · 11/01/2011 14:26

Oh no, those pics are all about 6yrs old. Honestly, in rl, he looks uncannily like him.

Though I don't actually think that Shia Lewhatsit is that attractive.

SilkStalkings · 12/01/2011 09:45

I would assume you were under the thumb of a small boy or rather immature man and had named it because of a love of Transformers. Much like the couple I know who called their son Neo.

SilkStalkings · 12/01/2011 09:45

Plus the shit and Muslim politics issues.
