Thoughts on Shannon? Middle names? Does it age well?

Feel free to be brutally honest. I can take it!

    For a girl?  It's fine. It's a little bland for me, common.  But I think if you love it, you should use it!
    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

    I like it. It is a bit dated, but I like it anyways. I do think it ages well. One of my good friends is Shannon and it suits her into adulthood for sure.

    I had a boss named Shannon. :/

    Trying to put that aside, I do think Shannon is a pretty name and would age well.

    I like it fine for a girl, but lately I've been crushing on it for a boy.

    I know an adult male Shannon. I also know a female one and I like it better on a girl

    I actually haven't met one either, but I'm familiar with it from Shannon Hoon and Shannon Sharpe. I like that it's normal yet unexpected for a boy. My DH would never, ever consider it if we did have a son - he hates having a name (Aaron) that can be misconstrued as a girl's name. But, I love it anyway.

    For a girl, I like:

    Shannon Victoria
    Shannon Marie
    Shannon Marissa
    Shannon Elizabeth (despite the actress)
    Shannon Alyssa
    Shannon Pearl
    Shannon Paige

    Suited me well.  My middle name is Eileen.  

    Personally, if it wasn't my name, I would never use it.  It is not my style preference.

    In terms of using it or a baby today, I do like that it is not that common. 

     I have known more male Shannons than female.

    I hate it but I might be judging that based on it being my ex husbands name

    I like it. I haven't heard of anyone under the age of 30 with that name, so I think it's due for a comeback! I know an equal number of male and female Shannons. I guess it was really popular for awhile because I know 6 of them!

    Honestly, I think that this name is best suited for a golden lab and not a person.  It's not particularly feminine or masculine and just doesn't seem to sound right.

    I think Shannon is nice. I knew several (girl Shannons) in HS and college.  It has a bit of an 80s feel to me, but names go out and come in, and Shannon is a lovely name that maybe should be on its way back in anyway.
