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?

What about Stevie?

I know a Shae- never even thought about GOT!

My son is "Shay" , it's very popular here in Ireland for a boy. But I think it's lovely for a girl outside Ireland. Id go with "Shaye" for a girl 😊

“What do you think of the name Shae?”

Another helpful poster offers Sibyl and Suzanne as alternatives. Like WTF 🤣

😆

Omg some absolute nutjobs on here 🤣

How about Shaedeigh?

I appreciate all the comments and opinions but have come to realise if it’s not Arabella, Charlotte or Chloe then it’s most likely not getting the best response 😂

OP it's really nothing to do with 'not being Arabella..' etc.

Your child, your choice of name...of course...but you specifically asked for opinions, and that's what you got 🤷‍♀️

My opinion is that it's not a very nice name for a child...but it doesn't matter what I think, if you love it, crack on!

Very pretty name OP

Op there are plenty of unisex names that are better than that ...

Alex
Briar
Charlie

Ellis

Quinn

Stevie

Shae is a lovely, gender neutral name.

It's just a sound. Not a name

Would you say the same for Catherine or Juliet? I have a top 10 name and I still have to spell it because there are variants. .

Of course it is. There is a great deal of rudeness and snobbishness on mumsnet.

So May and Ray and Fay and Gay are names but Shea is a ‘sound’?

Many of those aren't unisex.

In my mind they're both horrid names sorry. I might just be in a different culture though.

@KirstenBlest well somebody needs to come and tell the children's parents in the school I work in.

OK. My name sometimes is assumed to be a man's (it shouldn't as it's definitely not a male name or an Alex or Chris sort of name) and I don't find it helpful.

I think it's lovely! Rio and Kate Ferdinand's baby girl has the same name, can't remember how they spell it though.

Of course it is. There is a great deal of rudeness and snobbishness on mumsnet.

Plus racism and xenophobia. They hate anything different from middle class white English.

Is it even a name. Another daft name. Just why?

Lots of people have said Shay/Shae is a name, and they know people called it, so why the faux confusion from pp?
