thanks.

NMS... sorry.

It's nms.

No, don't like it. I do like Shea -- not spelled Shay -- but for a boy, not a girl.

leah1615 · April 2009

it sounds REALLY low class to me. And very southern too.

We are actually going through the same debate for a middle name! Originally Shayla was on our list...but now we are liking Shay for a middle name. I don't have advice on the spelling either Shay vs Shae!

?

So, is southern low class? Just curious. ?The name is nms, but I live in the south, and have not heard this name.

Shayla is fine if you are raising her in a trailer park and have high hopes that she will become a stripper.

There's a Sex in the City episode where Charolette wanted to name her girl this and her friend ended up naming her girl Shayla. I think the name is ok, I really like Shay.

NO! not at all! I used to live in Kentucky and Virginia! I knew a Shayla in kentucky who was very low class.

Gotcha!?

I'm actual partial to the name Shayla, I taught a little girl named Shayleigh (NN Shay), and she was actually very bright and came from an affluent family. I really think that it's the person that makes the name, not the name that makes the person. I also knew a Shannon in college, and her family called her Shae. GL!

The only Shayla I know is a Turkish American. She is very cool and not Southern or trashy.

Anyway, I think it is a pretty name.

LMS05 · April 2009

NMS. I like Shania more.?

mrsc720 · April 2009

I like Shayla. Some variations are Shaedyn, Shaelynn, Shayleigh. Personally I like Shayle, Shaedyn, and Shaelynn. I also don't think any of them sound trashy, low class, or southern (although I don't see the problem with southern...).

This. Don't use Shayla. She'll just get mixed in with all the other Kaylas/Jaylas/Laylas/Zaylas.

Sheila, on the other hand, is a classic name...

naflmj · April 2009

I like Shae all by itself...it is a stand alone name.

miss_beckman · April 2009

why not just stick with shay if that's what you're attached to? Shayla is awful- Shayleigh's not bad but shay- is cute!

Mommy2Gav · April 2009

My name is Shae and I love it. But I don't like when people add things to the end of it...Shae is fine on its own...

tct1219 · April 2009

i don't like shayla but i've known a couple of shays. it's an irish name.

DarcyLongfellow · April 2009

I agree with others -- it seems very low class to me.

I remember that episode of Sex and the City, and every time I see it I'm shocked that the writers believed someone like Charlotte would like a name like Shayla! Lily (the name Charlotte ended up using for her daughter) was much more her style than Shayla!

You read my mind about the SATC thing. I like Shay better than Shayla.
