Came across this name and love it, but curious to know others thoughts?

Is it pronounced Shahn? (Like the Welsh Sian?)

In which case, yes, lovely.

Know a very lovely one, so I’d say yes!

Nice 👍🏻

Not in parts of Scotland.

It makes me think of Sian for a girl.

Yes it is pronounced like Sian. I do think it sounds lovely and soft.

I like it but I like Shahan even more

How about Ishaan?

I like it but my only reservation is that if it is pronounced like Sian and that's traditionally a girl's name. I know obviously it's a different name with different origins but I'd be wondering about kids etc saying it's a girl's name and so on.

That is fair tbh however I’m thinking Sian isn’t really that common amongst children now, especially babies?

Shayaan is a popular name for Muslim boys

I like it. I've known two - one who I think was 'just' Shaan, another who was short for Hashaan.
