My best friend growing up was named Sheena, so warm fuzzies for me. Even as a kid, I thought her name was pretty cool and unique. Her full name was Sheena Narelle, which I thought was beautiful as a kid but now I am not so sure about the double 'na' in the middle of the combo.

I enjoy the sound of it. Seems sprightly because it reminds me of sidhe.

My instinct is to pair with a K sound.

I had recently developed an OC named Sheena. She's supposed to be boisterous and stubborn.

I like it. I had to check to see, but I did find it on my favorites list. It has 28% stars based on 14 votes. Not too well-liked, at least not by my voters.

The shee part gives it a sort of primitive feeling - like it's really obvious that it's written phonetically, and not so obvious that it doesn't come from a culture that doesn't have a written language. It doesn't seem Gaelic to me.

---

I'd pair it with a longer, harsher, powerful name.
Sheena Camilla
Sheena Meredith
Sheena Marciela
Sheena Victoria
Sheena Priscilla

I went to school with a Sheena and think it's okay. Hope it comes back.

How about:

---

Sheena Joyce
Sheena May
Sheeena Grace

Sheena was a punk rocker ...

---

Or perhaps queen of the jungle.

Seriously, this is one of the most narrowly dated names I can think of. And it has a slick, shiny, tacky feel to it like some equally dated fabric, like a Day-Glo orange parachute material for pants. Just yuck.
