[name]Shea[/name] is one of our top girl names, but part of me feels like I want my daughter to have a longer name…not sure why.
I’d love to hear your opinions on this name.
Also, if you can think of an alternate name where [name]Shea[/name] could be used as a nickname, that would be great!
I went to school with a boy named [name]Shea[/name]. I knew another guy with the mn [name]Shay[/name] also. I’m not advocating its usage on boys, just letting you know it is unisex.
I think it would make a better nn but I’m not sure what for. It is lacking in substance imo.
Oh yes, I’m aware that it’s a gender neutral name, but prefer it for girls.
[name]How[/name] about [name]Shayna[/name]?
Quite a few of the more obvious [name]Shea[/name] names seem kind of dated to me- [name]Shayna[/name], [name]Sheanna[/name], Shealynn, [name]Shayla[/name]… :-/
You could try pairing [name]Shea[/name] with a longer or more formal first name, then simply calling her [name]Shea[/name].
Also, [name]Shea[/name] is Irish, so you could use another Irish name with it…

[name]Shania[/name]
[name]Shannon[/name]
[name]Shelby[/name]
[name]Sharon[/name]
[name]Shoshannah[/name]
I think pretty much anything beginning with “sh” could work as a longer name:
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Shiloh[/name] (Brangelina…)
[name]Cheyenne[/name] (kind of dated, though)
Or, you can have a “s” first name with an “ay” middle name if you don’t mind a stretch.
Some “S” names:
[name]Susanna[/name]
[name]Serena[/name]
[name]Sylvie[/name]
[name]Sylvia[/name]
[name]Sophie[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Stella[/name]
Names with “ay”:
[name]Eilidh[/name] (ay-lee)
[name]Ayla[/name]
[name]Kate[/name]
[name]Ada[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Adrienne[/name]
[name]Adriana[/name]
[name]May[/name]
[name]Leila[/name]
[name]Leilani[/name]
[name]Ailsa[/name]
[name]Ayelet[/name] (well, actually the “ay” is prn. like “eye”
[name]Aiyana[/name] (ditto)
Good luck! 
[name]Hi[/name]!
Why not use [name]Shea[/name] as your daughter’s middle name, and call her that? This way, she has two names she can go by. I’m not usually in favor of calling kids by their middle names, but I think it could work well for you…
