Girls name 'Shay' opinions?

[Potteryprincess30]

Honest opinions on Shay for a baby girl please

[Dozer]

Horrible for either sex.

[kaytee87]

Horrible and I think it's a boys name

[RebeccaWrongDaily]

I have an uncle and a cousin called Sea (short for Seamus)

Shay for a girl is not great, i don't like Shayla/Tayla/Shania type names though.

[KalaLaka]

I like it

[EastDulwichWife]

I only know of Shea, which is an Irish boys name. I don't like Shay for a girl.

[MikeUniformMike]

I thought it was a boy's name. It's a No from me.

[sashh]

I haven't seen game of thrones but I have heard there is a Shay in it so could understand that association for people.

Please google the character, both book and TV, you may very well think differently about the name. Sorry but that's the first thing I thought of with this name.

[Daisydukes79]

Our daughters middle name is Shea. So obviously we like it lol.

[kissmelittleass]

I know of a few shays over the years always shortened from seamus. In my dd class there's a girl called Shaylyn unusual and pretty I think and you still get the shay bit!

[bayseyan]

Shea is better.

[Elllicam]

I also thought GoT I’m afraid.

[toughgetsgoing]

Dislike it for a boy or girl just don't like the sound sorry OP

[CheeriosEverywhere]

Shay (Sé) is a 60 year old male farmer from Leitrim.

[clary]

I think it's a boys' name.

But then I teach girls called Levi, Bailey and Terry, so what do I know?

[stellarfox]

I don’t mind it. I think of Shay Mitchell the actress

[Potteryprincess30]

Thanks everyone, appreciate the honesty. I keep loving a name for a few
days then hating it, one extreme feeling to another so definitely need your more level headed opinions to see me (and soon to be baby daughter) right!
I haven't seen game of thrones but I have heard there is a Shay in it so could understand that association for people. I knew the male version was Shae and Irish of origin but thanks for the extra info

[SantaStuckInTheChimney]

Awful (sorry).

[Yika]

I kind of like it actually. (Never seen GoT!). I know a guy (adult) Shay but still I find it quite nice for a girl.

[PinkFlamingo888]

I know a Shea who is Indian and it suits her but until I just remembered that I would have thought Shay was a boys’ name and not one I would choose.

[daisypond]

I think Game of Thrones, too.

[YesThisIsMe]

I only know it as a girls’ name from GOT, where it is not good at all

[eastlondoner]

I only know Shay to be a boy's name.

[Littlelambpeep]

Popular in Ireland but I feel more for a boy.

[AtSea1979]

Shayla is nice. Shay on its own not so much.

[ZogsAnon]

I know also know an adult Shay. Great person, great name!
