HelpI don't like it, sorry (m)
in reply to a message by Shaymin
I can appreciate its history and so forth but I'm always going to find this one a typically modern 80's choice in feel and association. It's a bit low brow where I live too. The Shay- names generally are e.g Shaylee and Shayla. It's a shame I feel that way about such an old name but I cannot help it.
I'd spell it as you have. Easiest for me.

I feel that way also and I'm a Shayna.
All the other tack-tastic Shay- names have really ruined it. And I WAS born in the 80's... *feels stereotypical*
The only thing I don't identify with is the lowbrow bit. It's so rarely used around here, though it's slightly more upperclass than many names typical of the late 80's.
I'd want to spell it like Rachel's. I'm more attracted to "i"s in names than "y"s, generally.
ETA: I know this wasn't specifically asked, but I like Shaindel best of all.

I don't find it lowbrow either. I don't like Shaindel/Shayndel, it reminds me of sandal.

Hey, at least you got a girl's name
I certainly didn't ;) You are luckier than me.
Looking at other responses, Shaina does seem more visually more pleasing although I've never come across it before.
