There is no connection between the names Shaw (Seaghdh) and Shea (Ó Séaghdha)! If this is anything other than supposition then it needs solid references. Accents are a vital part of Irish and Scottish Gaelic, for example _Seán_ is the equivalent of French Jean, BUT _sean_ means “old” and _séan_ means “deny”. It’s ridiculous to assume these are the same name when the vowel is totally different. MacLysaght in The Surnames of Ireland makes no connection between them and MacBain in his Etymological Dictionary of the Gaelic Language also makes no connection and gives spellings which show that Seaghdh was pronounced in a radically different way and connects it with M’Sithig > Sithech > sidhach “wolf”.
Indeed it’s very unlikely that all Shaws derive from the same source anyway. Some will have a Gaelic (Irish or Scottish) origin; others an English one.

There was a American horror film in 2007 inspired by the urban legends of some childless woman who was a ventriloquist. There's a poem that goes: Beware the stare of Mary Shaw, she has no children, only dolls.
If you see her in your dreams, Be sure you never, ever scream.
(Or she'll rip your tongue out at the seams).
Shaw makes me think of Mary Shaw.

I looked up this name, not sure if it even WAS a name or would be here. I just really like the sound of it. I would name a girl it.

I've only heard this as a surname and I'm not exactly a fan of using surnames as first names, Madison, Addison and Tyler being prime examples of why I hate it. Can't say I like Shaw either. To me, it sounds genderless and irreparably surname-y.

This name is short, easy to say, and is one of those surname names that is rising so quickly in popularity. What's not to like?

I don't like this name very much. It's like "Ptshaw" (I don't know how to spell it) and "Coleslaw".
