My name is Shayne and i am female and i have met multiple males with my name but no other females and i like my name it's unique in female names but most people mispronounce it and spell it wrong.
The Y looks so unnecessary and out of place. It doesn't make it feminine either. Why are people obsessed with pouncing on every established masculine name and turning it feminine?
I prefer this as a feminine name. They 'y' adds a sort of feminine effect to it. It's a modern, cute, fantastic little name for both genders! And being a feminist, the unisex part puts an extra smile on my face!
What, this name on a girl?! Come on now, this name is masculine, and it's not like Shannon, which has been masculine but has become feminine, at least in American usage. It's always been masculine. It doesn't sound right on a cute little girl, it sounds bizarre on a cute teenage girl, and it will sound very unfortunate on a grown woman, especially if she is utterly conventional. This may work on tomboys and androgynous women, as well as female indie rocker types, but only up to a certain age. Don't make your daughter suffer with this annoying male name. I never did like the sound. And the 'y' doesn't look nice either.
