  1. i like it =)


  2. I like the name for its meaning; however, my only concern is that it would be mispronouned constantly. (ex: Shane)


  3. Yes it is a good name!!  

  4. Its all a matter of opinion. it seems quite rare and i think its quite good

  5. Yes!

  6. I like the meaning behind it.  It's wonderful.  Just be mindful that people are going to constantly spell it wrong and those who can spell it may ask you if it's Shane.  I do like it though!

  7. I think its a good name

  8. Yeah thats a great name:) good luck to you and your baby:)

  9. It is definitely a good name just so long as you don't mind that people are constantly going to be spelling/pronouncing it wrong.  

  10. Its a unique name. The meaning of the name is nice.  

  11. It's a fine name, but if he is called Shan (Like Shanon--the girl's name) he might hate it.  

  12. SURE. Sean is a decent name, if you want to spell it different to change the meaning, go for it.  But it will probably get mispronounced most of the time because even though I didnt see an E at the end I though Shane instantly.  But I like it>

  13. Yes you should name your child that

  14. I initially read it as "Sh-ann" or "sh-ane".  I never would have guessed it sounded like Sean.

    I love the pronunciation but not the spelling. I think he would constantly have to correct people.

    Although I see it's an Indian name without knowing that it sort of comes off as trying to be Kre8tive and changing the spelling of a classic (ie- Madyisson, Abbygale, etc) which sort of detracts from the appeal for me.


  15. I like it!

    I remember a schoolmate named Shahan (a variation?). He's Hindu. It's supposedly a really meaningful name, he said.

  16. yes, I'm italian... t's a beautiful name!

  17. i think its awesome when names have meanings.

    i like it :]

  18. that is neat. i like the meaning. I really like it! Good Luck and Congrats!

  19. ppl will make fun of the spelling of his name

  20. That's a cool name.

  21. yeah sure


  22. yeah i like it, its interesting and different.

  23. My thoughts on the different spellings is that if it means something personal to you/your religon/your culture, then fine, go with it.  But if you are doing it just to be different, don't.  The kids going to have all kinds of issues if, just for kicks, you add extra vowels to a name, or throw in a silent x, or even worse, a little ` above a letter.  Adolescence is tough enough.

  24. Yes that is a lovely name but there is also a welsh name - Sian - which is adorable but is sounds like - Shaan not Sean but actually the way Shaan is spelt!  

  25. Yes its a good name

  26. I think its a good name and I like how it is spelled, different then the other ways, so I would say yes great name. :-)

  27. That is really a great name - really! My favorite part about the name is its definition. My second favorite part is the origin of the name, and my third is the unique, different spelling. When kids ask about the spelling, I'm sure he would just love to tell them all about it. :^] You did a great job! I wish you all the best. So long.

  28. Nice meaning, but your child will have to always specify their unique spelling.  Could be annoying after a while.

  29. It's fine.

  30. i like it too!

  31. Yes because I like the meaning... Thats what more important to me.
