We love it, we're cat people, not dog people, but we love this name, however I'm now upset as a friend pointed out it could be shortened to 'Shep', a dogs name, and we were hoping it would be unisex... D:

Opinions everyone, would it be a terrible unisex name?

It's awful

Looks like shepherd

SweepTheHalls · 25/10/2013 20:02

IMO terrible for either, so definitely unisex!

Get down Shep. Lifetime of. Avoid.

Not. Good.

No. Just No

Don't do it please!

Not for a girl, for a boy, if you love it go for it. It's not to my personal taste though.

What? No. It's not a name, it's a misspelt job

ThePuffyShirt · 25/10/2013 20:07

OMG.

No. Please, no.

KittyCatKittyCat · 25/10/2013 20:08

It's not misspelt, but you'd have to know your astronauts. Gagarin just wouldn't have worked.

Don't like it sorry

JustAnotherFucker · 25/10/2013 20:10

Surely it's a mis-spelling of a surname?

If I met a child with this name I would (to myself only) judge harshly and assume the parents were cranks.

Sorry, don't mean to sound rude but NO really don't like it for either sexSad

KatherinaMinola · 25/10/2013 20:14

You were upset because you thought it could be shortened to a dogs' name?? Grin

Sorry, it's bonkers.

ceramicunicorn · 25/10/2013 20:14

You really didn't already realise it could be shortened to Shep?

KittyCatKittyCat · 25/10/2013 20:14

Ah nevermind. Back to the drawing board.

Glad to hear you've been persuaded out of it Smile

TheFuckersonInquiry · 25/10/2013 21:19

Phew, glad you listened to reason. Grin
