It's ok, but so many spellings, I prefer Shae

I like the name! But it isn't one of my favorite monosyllabic options. It sounds too much like a nickname, because it isn't popular on its own.
I like all spellings that I've seen: Shea as in Shea butter, Shae, and Shay. But maybe Shae looks the most like a standalone name? I'm not sure, but its got calming vibes. I keep thinking of Shea lotion Lol.

I would use it as a middle name, so people wouldn't assume that it was short for Shayna.

I only like it for a girl.

As far as the spelling goes...

I love Shae & Shaye.
I’m neutral on Shay.
And I dislike Shea.

It's not a fav, but I like it.

It's simple but grand, and I like a lot of Sh sound names.

I do prefer Shea but not by much.

I like Shay. It's actually my Nephew's MN, His name is Anthony Shay LN. So, I guess I'm a little bias! LOL!

I know it’s unisex, but I have a hard time seeing it on a boy, despite the fact I went to high school with two of them. One was Shea (or Shae, I can’t remember) and the other ones full name was something like Shaylen or Shayler.

I’ve always really liked this name and enjoy the Shae spelling too. It gets used at times here in Australia, though isn’t common either. I like the meaning of the name and much prefer it for a girl.

I really like it, but only for a boy and usually as a diminutive to similar-sounding names such as Shane (which I really love) and Seamus, spelled either way. I'm more inclined to Shay though. (:

I think Shea is a lot MORE feminine but I associate both of them to be girls names. Not my favourite name either.

Completely dislike it regardless of gender or spelling. Sorry.
