I know a Sashina and it is pronounced "Sah-sheena". She goes by the nn "Sushi". I like Sheena. It sounds exotic to me.

It does sound pretty. That's why we picked it for our golden spaniel, years ago: that, and as a punning tribute to her glossy fur. And it would work well for a human, too.

My best friend all throughout elementary school was named Sheena. She fit the mold that Huffelpuffer described: a very lovely, very feminine girl. I don't know what I would think about it without have been positively influenced by the one I knew, but I think Sheena is a neat name. Her full name was Sheena Narelle which, at the time, I thought was sooo pretty. Now I am not so sure about the -na Na- thing.

I don't like it. It sounds a little dated. And, it sounds similar to Sheen, which unfortunately makes me think of Charlie Sheen.

I like Sheena. I've met a few Sheena's who've all been lovely girls so I have a good impression of the name. It does have a very pretty, sing-song quality to it. Very feminine.
