Shae for a girl?

[Samzzz]

I just made a post for Shiloh but my partner has now thrown Shae into the mix. We like gender neutral names but I particularly like Shae for a girl. What are your thoughts? Also would you spell it Shae/Shea/Shay/Shaye?

@defi You're thinking of Shea which is either a surname (as in O'Shea) or an Anglicised short form of the male names Seamus or Seaghdha.

It’s a no from me.
reminds me of ‘Shar’ short for Charlotte or “kell” short for Kelly.
but the important thing is you like it.

I prefer Shayla myself..

I live near the Shay stadium so it's an odd name to me for a person. I don't dislike it though.

No

What about Raye

Shay is a boys name

Shea is a moisturising butter

Shae is a bit shite. Poor kid.

The only Shae I've heard of is the prostitute in Game of Thrones.

Rio Ferdinand and his wife's youngest child is called Shae (a girl).

I don't hate, but I don't love it either. I think there's much nicer girls names out there.

What about Chaya? Pronounced Chi-ah. I know a lady called this, she was born in Mauritius.

No, the important thing is whether it's a dignified and suitable name for someone to go through life with.

And you wouldn't call a child kell or char either, would you?

It's just a bit try hard

^ no I'm thinking of shay/shae it's an Irish first name.

^ it's a real name just not an English name

i quite like it - i have a cousin whose daughter is called shay

It's the prostitutes name in GOT
Please don't.

I know a Shaylea (shay-lee) nn Shay.

Another who’s first thought was the prostitute in Game of Thrones

My daughter has a friend named Shayla. It’s not to my taste but could be an option for you? Or perhaps Shae as a middle name? Other names you might like: Rae, Beau, Jay, Kay / Kayla, Robyn, Billie.

Shea butter or the hooker on GOT so no from me

I think it’s not trying hard enough..

Other nicer S names ..

Sibyl
Sabine
Suzanne
Sistine
Sarah
Sophie
Saoirse
Serena

There's a female Shay at one of the toddler groups I go to. She'd about 2 maybe. I also know a dog called Che pronounced the same way. The problem is I just think of Che Geuvara.

I live a gender neutral name but Shae would 100% be counted as a “bogan” name in Australia…I wouldn’t do it. Shiloh is a bit better. What about Rowan or Quinn? Not for everyone but I like them for a girl.

I love* 🤦‍♀️

Why?
