Definitely Sean!

---

nm

Seán.

---

Meh. It is overused and boring where I live (West of Ireland). Seems every little boy these days is Seán or Jack.

I prefer Sean, I think it's quite handsome. I don't really like Shaun or Shawn.

I like both, but I prefer Sean. Not sure why. Shaun makes me think of Australia and Sean makes me think of Ireland.

---

The only spelling I don't like is Shawn.

Sean

---

The others look dumb to me.

---

But I think it's really bland and I've never cared for it.

Sean

---

...followed by Shawn and then Shaun. Sean and Shawn are what I'm most used to. Shaun looks somewhat incorrect to me, even though I know it's a common variant.

---

It's an okay name. I don't like it or dislike it.

Sean.

---

I think it looks cleaner. :)

Sean definitely. I really like it at the moment. I wouldn't use it for a first name but would consider it for a middle name.

---

I don't mind Shaun but I really dislike Shawn.

Sean

---

I've never been able to relate to peoples' attraction to Sean (and variants.)
I find it to be quite uninspirational.

---

Sean is the most authentic, I suppose-- and thus my preferred. Shawn and Shaun are probably the ones I'm least fond of.

Sean

I prefer this because its the original. If out of Shaun or Shawn I prefer Shawn, just because it looks a bit better.
I have a Sean and a Shawn in the same class! (annoying!)

Sean -- because it most closely approximates the Irish form of John (I can't make the symbol (fada?) over the a. In general, I like it a lot.

Sean

---

The others just look kinda..dumb to me. Dumbed down and childish. I much prefer the original.

---

Whatever the spelling the name is nms- I don't find the sound attractive at all.

Sean...

---

I also like Shaun. Shawn is my least favorite but I don't hate the spelling. I think Sean looks the most mature. Shaun and Shawn look slightly immature, with Shawn seeming the most immature.

---

Shawn was the first spelling I knew of when I was a little kid. Then in middle school I started to prefer Sean. I've known so many boys with this name that it is a bit boring but I still like the sound of it.

I've never liked Shaun or Shawn because it's like you have to pronounce it Sh-AWN and that's just horrid. I like Sean a lot better in spelling and looking at it automatically makes me [want to] pronounce it softer.

---

Sorry if that sounds weird.

Sean! :D

Sean

---

Not a bad name, but a bit boring and dated.

Sean.

Sean!!♥ I LOVE it!

Hm, usually I have really strong opinions on spellings, but I actually don't mind any of those three spellings. Weird. :)

---

I find the name kind of refreshing, actually.

Sean

---

It looks the most correct to me, and it's the first spelling I'd think of. I suppose I probably have known about the same amount of Seans and Shawns though. Shawn doesn't look too off to me, but Shaun looks a little weird whenever I see it. I've only known maybe two who spelled it that way.

---

I used to really love Shawn when I was a kid, and Sean more recently. I still like it, but I guess it's gotten a bit boring to me so I wouldn't consider using it anymore.

Sean is my favorite spelling, but Shaun ok too. I don't really like Shawn, don't know why. I don't see much sense in having to spell it phonetically, almost everyone knows how to pronounce Sean
