Comments for the name Shea

Shea is often pronounced "Shay".

I love the name Shea. I prefer this spelling with its Irish roots. With the name sounding so soft and feminine I would use it for a girl, not a boy. The names Shaelee, Shaelyn and Shayla are pretty too.

The New York Mets play at Shea Stadium.

Shea for a girl appeared on the top 1000 list in the 1980's. Its most popular year was the 1990's where it ranked 744. Shea for a boy appeared on the top 1000 list in the 1970's. Its most popular year was the 1980's where it ranked 648.

This was the nickname I was given by my friends when I was little and trust me a lot of things rhyme with Shea! I love it but I don't think it is practical for a first name because kids are mean to each other.

I adore the name Shea (pronouced SHAY in Ireland). I prefer it on a girl, as it sounds strong, lovely and is unexpected.

My French teacher's first name is Shea. She said that it was hard growing up, because sometimes she would be placed on the boys sports teams. I would rather use this name as a middle name for a child.

I do not really like this name only because it reminds me of cocoa shea butter lotion.

Who cares if it reminds you of shea butter coconut lotion? It's nice a lotion anyway. It's pretty much saying I don't like Rose because it reminds me of Rose oil.

I like it. My friend's sister's nickname is Shea, short for Shannon.

Shea's the name of the guy in the book "The Sword of Shannara" by Terry Brooks.

It sounds kinda cool on a boy, and for a girl it's soft and beautiful.

I think this is a beautiful, strong, feminine name.

I think Shea is a beautiful name. It's diffrent. I don't know more than 1 person who is named Shea. It's cool!

I like this name a lot, for both genders. But, I don't like this spelling for a boy, it looks too much like "she."

I like this name on either a girl or a boy, it sounds so soft.

This is absolutely NOT a girls' name to my eyes or ears. I think it would sound horribly simple, dull and unfeminine on a girl, but I love it for a boy. :) Where I live, it's definitely seen as a boy's name and I think most people would find it a little odd on a girl.

I wasn't even aware that this name was spelled this way until I met my current love on World of Warcraft (geeky, I know). His name is short, simple, and sweet- just like him.

I know a girl, her name is Tara Shea and I love it on her! I don't think of Shea as a guy's name but then again I have never met a dude named Shea.I'll bet you can find a TON of double names with the middle name Shea!

To me it sounds more like a boys name but looks like a girls name. I was going to use this name for my baby but was considering Shay for a spelling but she turned out to be a girl in the end.

This is my brother's middle name, and this is what we call him because his first name (David) is so common. No one ever forgets his name, and they know who you're talking about right away. We like it a lot!

I like it a lot for both a guy and a girl!

I think this is a beautiful name, but only for a girl. I think it sounds a bit too feminine for a guy.

I like this, but it seems much more like a feminine name than a masculine name to me.

Shea means "the stately, dauntless one". It is a common surname in Ireland.

I know a very cute guy named Shea. I think it's a very good, non-generic name.

I used to not like it, but every Shea I know is nice.
