Comments for the name Lashawn

What a terrible thing to do to "Seán". This name makes me think of a poor, urban black family, and I do not mean it as a compliment. It has no class and shows little hope of aging well.

My name is Lashawn and I'm not poor, black or urban. I'm not rich either but our family are well off.

I think she just means it sounds like the parents destroyed a perfectly good name by anglicising it and adding little snippets of other names to it.

The ''Shawn'' should rule it out for a girl, but if the name is used on males, it should at least be LEShawn, not LAShawn. So, it doesn't sound logical on either sex, and it has that trashy ghetto sound to it.
