love Shannon on a boy

Where I live names like Shannon Ashley Morgan Mackenzie and so on are still regarded as unisex I know both boys and girls with these names although I must admit I prefer them on boys.

I know a male Shannon (nn Shazza lol) I like it for a boy, but prefer it as a middle name

I love the name Shannon for a boy, and I think it would be a great name to use as such.

Honestly Shannon on a girl is very 80's to me, but on a boy it is fresh.

I only know one Shannon and that's a girl. Shannon doesn't seem very masculine to me.

I've seen it on both. I think its more girly, but I don't mind it on a boy.

I have a male relative named Shannon. And strangely enough, while perusing BAs I came across a pair of Shannons of opposite sex who are married and have had a child. The mom was Shannon and the dad was Shanon (one n instead of two!). I can't imagine being married to someone with the same name as me. Anyway, I like Shannon on a boy.

I've known one 1 boy named Shannon, and 1 girl named Shannon. I'm not a fan of either, but I perfer it as a boy. I think Shannon on another person's son is really nice.

I know more male Shannons than female Shannons

And I prefer it on a boy.

Every male Shannon I have known has never been teased

I know a boy Shannon and hes never been teased.

I really don't like it. At all. Once a name goes to the female side, there is no going back.

A little boy named Shannon will be forever teased and tormented.

I'm a fan. I prefer it on a boy, actually.

I've actually met three guys named Shannon. I don't mind the name for girls, but I prefer it for boys. It's not something I would use, but if I did I would use something classic.

I *love* it!

I'd love to see your combos when you get them together.

And I would especially love to see Shannon on it, as a boys name. *hearts* :)

As a female Shannon it's a bit difficult for me to judge this name objectively because I love my name on me, but I would never use it in naming ANYTHING else. That being said, I think that Shannon is lovely on a boy or a girl, and I like it more and more as a boy's name as I get older. It definitely is an androgynous name, whose look or sound is pretty neutral and not typically categorized as either "masculine" or "feminine" sounding.

I think Shannon makes a beautiful middle name, too, actually. There are some pretty cool combinations with Shannon as a middle name, it's pretty unusual to see the name used in that position.

I like Shannon on a boy.
