I know someone called this, but paired up with another name. Shai - Leigh. I think it's really nice.

Like many other Hebrew masculine names, Shai has also been given to some girls in recent years.
The above poster mentioned the name "Shy-Leigh" - the "li" suffix means "for me" and is added to many names - therefore Shai-li means "gift for me".

Pronounced "shy".

The only person I have ever met who has this name pronounces it like Shea (shey).

Shai is also the concept of Fate in Egyptian mythology. Therefore you could use this name as a replacement for Karma or Destiny. Because the Egyptians saw Fate as being without specific gender (sometimes they called it male, sometimes female), you could use this as a genuinely unisex name.

Another form of the name is Shia, borne by actor Shia LaBeouf.
