Which name for our baby girl?🌸

We ideally want an ā€˜L’ middle name but not 100% set on it. Also not sure on Shay or Shae spelling. Ideas so far:
Shay Louise
Shiloh Lucy
or
Shay Elizabeth
Shiloh Alice

Shiloh from your two ideas.

Shayla as suggested above is nicer, and you can have the nn Shay, with a more feminine option if wanted later in life?

I only know Shay as a boy name.

So I prefer Shiloh, but it makes me think of Brad and Angelina as I’ve never heard of another.

My only reference for Shiloh is as one of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War.

Neither, but of the two, Shiloh.
Shay is OK short for Seamus or something.
Shae looks a bit naff.

Your middle names are far better than your first names.

Shay

Whoever suggested Shayla - I absolutely love that!!!

Firsttimebabymummy · 11/08/2024 11:08

Shiloh Alice is lovely.
Don't think shiloh works with L middle name..

Not keen on Shay, I've met 2 and both were boys.

Melonjuice · 11/08/2024 11:10

I’ve always known these to be boys names, but I prefer Shay

I knew a girl called Shae some years ago and she was the brat from hell, so that puts me off.

I know a male Irish Shay, in his 50s.

Shiloh is just too Angelina for me OP.

Shayla Marie
Shayla Esmae
Shayla Roxanne
Shayla Ann
Shayla Wren

I came on to suggest Shayla or shaylah and agree with Shiloh feeling too celeb and shay being more male.

Some other ideas

Sile (pronounced sheelah)
Siobhan (shi von)
Sinead ( shin aid)

I really like Shiloh. Shiloh Charis/Carys? Shiloh Alice is okay.

Surprised by all the love for Shayla which sounds kind of washed-up Nashville star to me.
