[Opinions] Re: Shannon (for a boy)
in reply to a message by Chelsea
My ex-boyfriend is a Shannon, and he was born at the height of Shannon's popularity for girls. He was embarrassed by his name and frequently said he hated it. Based on his experience, I wouldn't recommend it for a boy even if if I thought it sounded masculine...which I don't. My Shannon's name was Shannon Gary, but no Shannon boy combo really sounds right to me.
A sort of amusing story...
It was common for him to get mail addressed to Ms. Shannon HisLastName, and we once ended up on a junk mailing list as "Mr. Alison MyLastName and Ms. Shannon HisLastName." Years later, long after we had broken up and were no longer living together, I was pregnant and getting the usual pregnancy junk mail when, about halfway through my pregnancy, it started coming addressed to "Mrs. Shannon MyLastName." Like I had made an honest woman out of him at last. :)
