Shay! By a long shot.

user18349332 · 11/05/2017 22:02

Shona?
Shawna?

All the "Sh" names!

Shay

And Shay again because it cannot be overstated.

user18349332 · 11/05/2017 22:07

Spelled Shay or Shae?

Neither. They are both american sounding fakey Irish type names.

Plus one is a boys name and one is a girls name.

Sadik · 11/05/2017 22:09

Shay of your first two. But Shawna probably my overall favourite. I like Shona too - actually, they're all good names not helpful

user18349332 · 11/05/2017 22:12

Shona is the anglicized spelling of the name Seonaid which is the Scottish Gaelic form of Janet.

I have Scottish roots. So that would be nice.

Jesus op this is your third thread! Do you really find this entertaining?!

Mothervulva · 11/05/2017 22:12

Ha

Annahibiscuits · 11/05/2017 22:13

Shayna, from me...because the you can shorten it to Shay if you want, or Shaynie

Brogadaccio · 11/05/2017 22:13

Shay is ok as a nn for Seamus.

Shayna does sound a bit o'american. What about Shona!? That's lovely. Or Siún

How many bloody threads do you need? Can you contact MNHQ and get them to delete some? One thread is enough.

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 11/05/2017 22:14

Shay, definitely.

(but only if it's spelt with a silent T)

Bluntness100 · 11/05/2017 22:14

Lol. Shahyna if for a girl, shay for a boy,

therootoftheroot · 11/05/2017 22:15

i think chelly is the best spelling

or even j-a-n-e-t

MrsLettuce · 11/05/2017 22:20

All the "Sh" names!

Just call the poor love Charlotte and be done. Has tonnes of nicknames.

Sophronia · 11/05/2017 23:14

Shay for a boy, Shayna for a girl.

SomeOtherFuckers · 11/05/2017 23:23

Shauna is gross ... stop posti so much because your name choices are grim. Shay is nice- just call her shay

CricketRuntAndRashers · 11/05/2017 23:23

Seònaid, Shona, Joan or Shay.

I prefer Charlotte. NN Shay?

chipsnmayo · 12/05/2017 00:05

Shania?

WellErrr · 12/05/2017 00:07

All the "Sh" names!

.....I just can't even.

WyfOfBathe · 12/05/2017 00:13

Shay for a boy, Shayna for a girl.
I agree.

Or what about Shailene? (actress in the fault in our stars)

CricketRuntAndRashers · 12/05/2017 00:19

I quite like Shailene. :)

ladybird69 · 12/05/2017 00:21

Shay is nice
I'd have Cheyenne

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/05/2017 08:56

Shona is lovely.
