I have never, in my life, heard of Sean, or Shawn, used for a girl, as her real name. I have a cousin who is named Sean, and I am friends with a Shawn, both males. I've heard of Shawn used as a nickname for a girl named Shawnee, but that's the only time.

I was watching "A BAby Story" once and the woman's name was Shawn-Marie (or something like that), she went by Shawn.

I think it's ok for a girl named Sean, there's an actress in ER named
Michael something...so Sean's absolutely fine for girls.
