[Opinions] Re: Shane or Sean?
I like them both, although I'd never use either because I intend to use Jean for a girl. I prefer Sean to Shane, for the same reasons as Chazda prefers them the other way around! Shane sounds a bit more "blue-collar" to me and I come from a "white-collar" family. I also just prefer the sound of Sean over that of Shane. However, I have a good friend and mentor called Shane who's just finished his PhD in archaeology so it *is* special to me.:-)

Hehe . . .From experience, they do - and then end up in very bitter relationships because their partner won't have intellectual conversations with them and laughs at their big words, and the girl ends up despising the guy because of it . . . ! That's pretty much the story of my parents' marriage (I have very little affinity with my dad's "blue-collar" side of the family) and of erm . . . 2 of my past relationships. No, 4, but two of those lasted less than a fortnight.

The blue collar/white collar arguement..gets me thinking if Australia, America, Canada and England have different ideas of what are blue collar names and what are white collar names.
