Not exciting, but ok... It's not overused anymore and might almost be refreshing among the current trendy names. Nicola Shannon is kinda pretty.

I like it. I think of the River Shannon. I prefer it for a boy though.

I love the name Shannon. It would be on my list if it weren't for a terrible association I have. I don't find it too dated at all. I secretly like it for a boy too.

Personally, I think Shannon is a little old fashioned. I think it would work much better as a middle name. As for a first name, 3 syllable names tend to sound good. A few examples would be Lorelei Shannon, or as you suggested: Nicola Shannon.

Well, being that it's my name, it's hard for me to be objective about it. But I think it's one of those nicely dated names that makes you get happy nostalgic images. I think Georgia Shannon is quite pretty. I do prefer it for a girl, and I'm not just saying that to stand up for my own name. On a boy it's not bad, though. I'm never sure if it feels more aristocratic or more dashing. Either way, the one male Shannon I've known gives me a bad association, which doesn't help.
