Shay being a nickname for Shane is right there and yet I've never made the connection haha I love that!

And it totally works. 😁 I even named one of my main characters in my trilogy series Shane, who often goes by Shay as a nickname. I also think it could work as a nn to Seamus.

You've mentioned Cole being your #1 before (which I love btw!)I'm curious do you have a set middle name in mind too? Most of my top favorites have a few different I float between
