[Opinions] Portuguese name

Aline (g). Pro uh-LEE-nee. I'm not 100% sure it's Portuguese, but as it's a girls' name here in Brazil, I'm assuming. I like it and was just wondering if anyone else does.

Also, people keep accidentally pronouncing my name (Shayna) wrong here. Here are a few ways I've heard it:
shy-EE-nee
shy-EEN
shuh-EE-nigh
shuh-nee-UH

Actual pro. shay-na. Exactly like how it's spelt.

What do you think of these?

Personally, I would pronounce Shayna, shay-na. And Aline, ah-LEEN or aye-LEEN.

I don't like Aline at all. I might like it better if it was said uh-LEEN, which is how I would say it. I like Alina (uh-LEE-nuh) and Elina (eh-LEE-nuh) much better.

I say SHAY-nuh. I'm surprised people mispronounce it! I really hate the name, sorry.

Aline is French Alina is German. After WWII a lot of germans moved to South America so maybe that's why the name it's said the same way.

shy-EEN
shuh-EE-nigh
shuh-nee-UH
are interesting pronunciations of Shayna
