I like it, but I think I prefer Shaeleigh (as a variant of Shae). Just a thought. :)

Hey There,


My real name is Shalon (pronounced shuh-lawn), and I've always thought I'd name my daughter Shaelyn, but then I figured it would be too many "sh" sounding first names in our family. I remember in school when I used to hate it when I got a class with the boy named "Shawn" because we would both turn around whenever anyone called either one of our names. LOL.


I like the name, although I must admit it was a bit awkward to try to spell it just now with the "ae" combo. Doesn't come natural to me.


Some options might be:


Shaylin


Shalen


Shalynn


Chaleyn


Chalyn

sounds too made up - sounds too much like Kaylin, which is also made up, one of the many starting out with Ka and ending in lee, lyn, tin, etc.

how about Shayna? that I like starting with Shay

I know a little girl named Shalin (pronounced shay-lin) and she is adorable.
