Dazed and Confused
in reply to a message by AZALEA
This is the name of a semi-prominent character the movie Dazed and Confused. She's one of main character Jodi Kramer's best friends, and is dating the best friend (forget his name) of Randy "Pink" Floyd. It's been a while since I watched it, but I remember that's her name, even though I think it's only said once or twice. I remember it because it jumped out at me as being unique.
Since the first time I saw that movie, I've met a couple Siobhans (including once who pronounced her name SEE-O-BAN and got irritated with me for pronouncing it the Irish way because, I quote, "Well I'm not Irish!"); and one Shivonne. But not another Shavonne.
As far as Anglicized Celtic names go, I don't think it's bad, to be honest. But it does feel very 1970s, likely because of the movie.

Shavonne, or pronouncing it SEE-O-BAN? I think the latter lol.
