Shannon

I've only met a couple Shannons growing up. Yet I think the name is beautiful. It's not a common name in the U.S. I much prefer the name Shannon to Sharon. Shannon fits at any age. Yet Sharon reminds me of an old harsh female.

In 2018, 40 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Shannon who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 179th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.

I'm having trouble reading this load of crap. People passing judgement over a name. Im a 36 year old man and Shannon is my name as it was the name of my great grandfather, which means, it's been a popular male name since before most of the people commenting, were even a twinkle in their fathers eye. I'm also very ok with the name being used for females. I'm not ok, with smug, keyboard warriors passing judgement on something they know nothing about. Shannon is a great name, with a lot of character, so those of you with the names, Mike, Chris, Steve, Sally, Michelle, Christi, etc., your names mean one thing to me, your parents strongly lack in imagination and creativity. You are the ones that got cheated in this situation, not me. Have a nice "Normal Vanilla" evening.
