I was born in 1952 (which makes me 52!!) My Father always told me that he invented my name. Apparantly I was going to be called Shaun if I was a boy and the name they had chosen for a girl (Romany Anna-Marie - after my grandmother who was a spanish gypsy) did not suit me so Shaun was feminised to Shauneen. My Father said he researched the name at the time and could not find a record of it anywhere except for the Shaunin an Irish derivitive mentioned in a previous message or Shauni - which is an Eskimo name.
