[Opinions] Shania
What do you think of Shania? Does it make you think of Shania Twain? I met a 5 year old named Shania today. Do you pronounce it sha-NEE-ah or sha-NYE-ah? Have you ever met anyone with the name?

I don't like Shania too much. It reminds me of Shania Twain. I'd pronounce it sha-NYE-ah. I've never met anyone with this name. Being Jewish, I much prefer Shaina/Shayna seeing as I know so many.

I think Shania is a beautiful name. I am surprised more people don't use itI am not really into country music but she does cross my mind since it's such a rare namesha NYE ah is how I would pronounce it.Never met anyone with the name.

Since I hate Shania Twain, I can't get behind this name. I hate her and her music so much, I would cringe if I were ever to meet a Shania in real life.

It does make me think of Shania Twain. I would pronounce it sha-NYE-ah, and I've never met anyone named this.

Yes it makes me think of Shania Twain. It also makes me think slightly of myself, because whenever someone looks at my middle name, they suddenly develop dyslexia and pronounce it Sha-nye-ah (I've never heard anyone pronounce it differently)Never met anyone with the actual name.
I prefer Shaina / Shayna, despite people's issues with pronouncing it.
