How would you pronounce "Shai" & do you like it?

[happytobemrsg]

DH & I will be TTC #2 in a few months. DS is called Noah & we want to pick another Hebrew name for #2.

We both like the name Shai for a boy however I don't want to have to always be explaining how it's pronounced. That will annoy me & him!

So how would you pronounce it & do you like it?

I’d say Shy and if you liked 90s R&B like I did back in the day you’d know...

Shai

Shy
And no, it's awful

Exactly Astrid. I bet there are many wonderful Shays out there, but yeah for me the immediate association is pretty negative.

I might go on that website which gives you popular sibling names. See if I get any more ideas. Thanks everyone!

My DS has a little girl in his called Shai and it's pronounced Shy.

Shy... I don't like it.

Elijah, Asher, Jehu, Jethro, Levi, Urban, Shiloh, Hoshea/Oshea, Joash, Ishmael, Elah, Elon?

You know how sometimes you have those associations? My ex cheated with a woman whose nickname is Shai. Other than that, why not?

I agree, Noah and Jethro sound well together.

Shay & i think GOT

Shay, like Shayne. I'm not a fan personally.

To rhyme with chai latte

It's pronounced like "shy"
