Is this a name for a girl or boy to you?

Question

When you hear the name Shay or Shae or Shaye, do you think of a girl or boy? Which spelling looks more feminine?

Answer 1

shaye is most girly

Answer 2

Love the name. I would say its a girls name and Shae looks like the right one.

Answer 3

i think of a girl. i think the best way would be shay...i just sounds right to me.

Answer 4

I think of a girl's name, and I'd say Shay is the most feminine.

I know one "shay", but she's a Chey, short for Cheyanne (misspelling of Cheyenne)

Answer 5

Shay

Its a girls name

I also like

Shayla

Answer 6

That is a girl's name.  Absolutely positively do not name a boy Shay, he will get abused.

Answer 7

I think of a boy.

I know a boy called Shay, and I've read of a boy character in a book with it spelt Shea.

Honestly I think it's a pretty bland name

Answer 8

i think of a girl for all of the names and shay sounds most femine to me

Answer 9

i think of a boy because there used to be a boy called that in my school, but his was with a C so "shae" looks feminine so could be both =]

Answer 10

Answer 11

To me this name sounds feminine. I know several girls with the name Shay. However, I know that the name Shay is a masculine Irish name (the anglicised form of Seaghdha, which means 'admirable'). Some sources claim the name is of Hebrew origin (meaning 'surplanter'). And while it is said to be a soley male name by some sources, others claim it is unisex or female. For more information on this, just browse through the websites I have listed in the source section.

The spelling that looks most feminine to me is Shaye. It looks like the nicest spelling in print too, as the added 'e' balances the name out nicely.

EDIT: I agree with Aoife N. Shay does sound like it could be short for Seamus, and possibly Shane.

Answer 12

I think of it as a girl name.  I don't like the name.

Answer 17

girl. even though "shay" is spelled more masculine it still SOUNDS feminine. so give it to a girl.

Answer 18

Shay to me sounds like a female name. I have a friend named Morgan Shay, so everyone calls her Shay. To me, Shay (spelled like it is) is a feminine name.

Answer 19

boy. i know a man called shay

Answer 20

Girl and I like all of the spellings

Answer 21

Girl i think. Its a little poofy for a boy!

Answer 22

Well......I think of it as a male's name. Now this might be because the only person I knew who had the name "Shay" was a man. Perhaps if it had been a woman I might have thought otherwise though. Most of the time..it's not how the name sounds, it's the s*x of the person we know or have known to have the name to condition our mind to think that it's either for a boy or girl. This name is actually a universal name to me. Kind of like the name "Chris".

Answer 23

I think it sounds more like a girl's name. And I think Shaye or Shae look more feminine.
