Shane for a girl's name?
| Wed, 03-28-2007 - 2:33pm |
Hi Everyone,
DH and I are considering naming our little girl Mila Shane (pr MEE-LA). Middle name Shane is my husband's first name but we think it might be pretty and different for a girl. Any opinions on use of the name for a girl or the flow of Mila Shane? Runner up is Mila Rose.
Thanks so much!

I'd be tempted to use a more feminine form.
These are all feminine forms of Shane/Sean/John:
Sian (said Shan)
Sine (Sheena)
Sinead (shi-NAYD)
Siobhan (shi-VAWN)
Shona
Jane - Mila Jane is a sweet combo
Ivana - same ethnic origins as Mila, so this makes the most sense stylistically. ;)
Shanna, Shannon and Shanley also make sense, in that even though they have a separate root they're similar enough in sound to be an obvious nod to Shane.
If you simply want to use the exact name rather than a feminine form, I do think Shane is fine, however.

I like it :) I prefer some of the other names that I gave you before that are similar to Shane, but I like that Shane has meaning behind it, and Rose is so common.
Thumbs up from me!

Love it as a mn - goes great with Mila.
I just wanted to throw in my .02. I think Shane is just fine for a girl, I went to high school with a girl who spelled it Shayne, it was her first name and I never really thought about it as a boys name?!
Good Luck.
well, I DO like "Mila Shane" for a DD,....but, I think that the Shane part needs a teeney bit of tinkering to be just a bit more dressed up for a lovely little girl, and to match up next to that "Mila" part ( which is very savvy of you, by the way...).
Shane needs to be spelled "Shayne", or "Shaine". I would go with the "Shaine".
Good luck with whatever you choose:-)
