Sorry Shane is awful.
It was the school bully's name and the name of my uncle's alsatian dog.

I actually don’t mind Shane 🙈

The baby name “Shay” for boys got a lot of love on here recently

Ok so criteria is that you’d like a short name that is easy to pronounce @Andsbk

What about these:

Otto
Eli
Ellis
Seth
Miles or Milo
Cole
Eric
Casper
Otis
Rudy/Rudi
Dexter
Blake
Angus
Percy
Chester
Caleb
Cooper


Any of these on the right lines?

Shane but I think this name belongs back in the 70s.

Shay? Or Shea, pronounced the same.

I like Aiden too (and prefer the -en spelling to -an)

How do you say shein? Like a Gallagher would say sunshine?

I agree with pp that Sean is a better alternative if you like those sounds. Aidan is okay, and better than Shane, but I do think you should stick to Aidan spelling.

If you kind of liked the sound of Shane, Sean is an obvious (and far nicer) alternative.
