Shane?

[crabette]

For baby boy.

Interested in the mumsnet view!

G’day, mate!

Nope.

No!

I thought of Australians too. Specifically be-mulletted 1980s ones.

I prefer it for a girl tbh.

My mate's Aussie husband is called Shane, and he did indeed have a mullet back in the day.😁

Noooooooooo

Awful

Yes!!!

Oh I love the name Shane!

Seriously. Australian kept into my brain.

No.

Aw I like it! I'm a teacher and teach a Shane at school.

Eeewwww

I like Shane....and I also love Sasha...for boy or girl.

I think of Shane Warne and Shane Gould.
Shane is a sporty name for a champion.
For a girl Shane reminds me of the names Terry, Dale, Viv and Maxi.
Shane for a boy reminds me of cricketers and footballers.

LOl, my BIL wanted to name his son Shane, and I browbeat my sister into picking something else.

Still NO 40 years on!

What nationality are you and the baby's dad?
I only know two Australian Shanes who are both 40s/50s.
I also know a couple of Shays who are late teens and of Irish decent. I like it.
Plus a Seamus (50s) who is Irish and it's shortened to Shay.
I prefer Shay to Shane.

I used to think Shane was the coolest name when I was younger. It’s a nice name.

I really like it.
Different connotations depending on where you live in the world.
I'm in Ireland so it's s perfectly nice normal name.

No. Naughty boy vibe for sure..

Seamus is nice though.

Australian here. I was at school with a Shane. ExDP had Shane as a middle name. I said “did your mum pick that out of a magazine while she was in labour?” You know, just throwing it out there. He said “yes, she did”.

I still remember coming home after my first day at swimming lessons that year. “Mum, she’s gold all over, she’s got long hair all striped with gold and her name’s Shane!” I think I was 8.

I associate it more as an Irish name and think Shane from Westlife!

No it was the school bully’s name.

Prefer Shaun.. But it has to be spelt the proper way - Sean.
