I LOVE it!

I have only known female Shannons, but I think it would be very handsome on a guy. Shannon is one of those names that I can find truly unisex! I have always loved the sound of Shannon; it sounds very peaceful.

As a kid knew a female Shannon, as an adult knew a male Shannon. Think he wore it better.

It's all girl to me. I know it has been used for guys but I never met a male Shannon and I've met plenty of female ones.

I get a vibe like from Shawn or Shane. Pretty-faced hippie or surfer guy. It's not bad, but not my favorite. I've always preferred it for a gal because I expect one, but honestly when I think about it, it doesn't really seem particularly feminine. It seems like a rare thing, a name that is gender-neutral and yet would not seem desexed on a real person of either sex.

I really don't find it interesting for either gender. Sort of limp, as if it had been filletted.

It would be great on a boy!

Same here. It's fine for a girl, but better for a boy. If I were to use the name, I'd use it for a boy.

I think it's tweedy and retro. I like the sound and etymology.
It seems like Kelly, Seamus, Sean, Rhiannon, Shaina.

Even though it has sounds I shouldn’t like, I actually enjoy this name. I typically think of it as feminine, but I wouldn’t be opposed to it on a boy.

Don't really like it especially for a boy

It's not my style at all, and I find it quite pedestrian.

Probably one of my favorite names. It's such a pretty name. I love both genders.

I like it for both genders but if I used it now, it would be for a son. The first time I heard it was on Wolf Blood, the main character's female friend had this name. I thought it sounded serious and intelligent. I feel much the same now.
