Girls name 'Shay' opinions?

[Potteryprincess30]

Honest opinions on Shay for a baby girl please

[Sarahh2014]

It's usually spelt Che and usually a boys name

[Creatureofthenight]

It's a boys name.

[ByThePowerOfRa]

I instantly think of GoT when I think of a girl called Shay. I don’t want to spoil GoT for anyone though, so won’t say if it’s a good or bad association!

[AveEldon]

I know an adult woman called Shay - I think it's fine as a name

[ZogsAnon]

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

[AtSea1979]

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

[Littlelambpeep]

Popular in Ireland but I feel more for a boy.

[eastlondoner]

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

[YesThisIsMe]

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

[daisypond]

I think Game of Thrones, too.

[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.

[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.

[SantaStuckInTheChimney]

Awful (sorry).

[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

[stellarfox]

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

[clary]

I think it's a boys' name.

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

[CheeriosEverywhere]

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

[toughgetsgoing]

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

[Elllicam]

I also thought GoT I’m afraid.

[bayseyan]

Shea is better.

[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!

[Daisydukes79]

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

[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.

[MikeUniformMike]

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

[EastDulwichWife]

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