What do you think of the name Shine?

It is the name of a little girl in an Australian documentry. At first I thought it was a bit strange, but it has really grown on me! What do you think of it?

If you are interested you can find information about the documentry at www.abc.net.au/life . It is a longitudinal study about child development.

Sorry. I don’t like like it at all, but I imagine it could grow on me… maybe.

Prefer [name]Sunny[/name] or even [name]Skye[/name] (which I dont like at all)

I think it could be best as a nickname, maybe for…

[name]Shawna[/name]
[name]Shaina[/name]
[name]Shalona[/name]
[name]Shamara[/name]
[name]Shamira[/name]
[name]Shana[/name]
[name]Shania[/name]
[name]Shannon[/name]
[name]Shavonne[/name]/[name]Siobhan[/name]
[name]Shayla[/name]
[name]Sheila[/name]
[name]Shenna[/name]
[name]Sheridan[/name]
[name]Shia[/name]
[name]Shiloh[/name]
[name]Shirley[/name]
[name]Shyanne[/name]

In the US “shine” has a history of being used as a derogatory nn for African Americans, it’s pretty outdated now but it’s not something I would ever use as a name or nn.

It causes me to think of… [name]Flower[/name] children… The horror film The Shining… And moonshine liquor… Not sure those are positive or negative- just impressions!

I think it’s cute, especially after seeing the little girl. The documentary looks really interesting.

There was a guy named Shine at my summer school a couple years ago- he’d be 16 or 17 now. I thought it was pretty cool, don’t recall anyone thinking it was weird. He was smart and, yes, always cheerful so it worked.

I knew a [name]Sunshine[/name], Shine is a little bit Hunger games [name]IMO[/name] (With names like [name]Marvel[/name] and [name]Glimmer[/name].) But it isn’t terrible.

[name]Remember[/name] [name]David[/name] helfgott in the movie shine?

My friend [name_f]Molly[/name_f]'s daughter’s name is [name_f]Hanna[/name_f] Shine. I think it’s a better middle name that first…
