My brothe's name is Shaun. EVERYONE spells it wrong. But, I love it because it is different. All the'sHAUN's ive meet are really awesome people!
i've never been partial to the name'shawn either way it is spelled. However I think it is more fitting a spelling for a boy to be spelled Shawn or Sean as those forms seem far more masculine to me. The'shaun version always makes me think of Shauna or Shaunie (Shaq's former wife). And typically I always felt if there is one or more vowels in a unisex name to soften it up. Then naturally that makes it the more feminine version of the name. Such as Alexa for Alex. Toni for Tony and so on and so forth.
well my nieces name is grace..i dont know what i think about it. i used to like it but now i kinda think its just so plain...its just like...grace. and of course it has a beautiful meaning and she's a beautiful girl...its a boring name...
My names Shaun also but everyone spells it wrong its ridiculous but ohh well!
Shaun in PakistanI'mean's Glory. I think it is a beautiful name and defines the person!
My name is Shaun also, so far I have not run into anyone else with this name. It is awesome! Even if people mispell it, I love it.
I named my little boy Shaun. he's awesome and so is the'spelling of his name. It's a little different, but the'sean...just couldn't do it! SEEN!
I agree with the last commentator. A bit like spelling "education" "edukayshun", really. However, of all the perverse renderings of the irish name'seın I think "Shorn" is better than "Shaun" or "Shawn".
shaun is the best name ever, if u spell It'sean, i feel bad for you.
Yeah, people call me Wayne at first too. It usually takes me about one minute to get them saying Wade and not Wayne...
I'm due in 40 days...I am naming my baby boy Shaun. I went back in forth between Shawn and Shaun and now after reading this website I'm sticking to my first choice, Shaun. thanks everyone!
they always sya it wrong no matter how many times you correct it.
my names shaun (: but all me teache's spell it as sean :L love my name though :D as of course ther is a sheep named after us :D
My brothe's name is Shaun and again it is often misspelled. But the the variant "Sean" is pronounced as Shawn because of its Irish/Gaelic origin
my son's name is Shaun, and he is the most intelligent boy !
I am a Trans man and I picked the name'shaun Because of its meaning. I like this particular spelling of it because it feels warm and is phonetically spelled.
My current boyfriends name is shaun. I'must say i fell inlove with his name before his personality.lol. i have 3 other guy pals named either'shaun, or sean. weird how it has different spelling. very popular name in s.a. just like roxanne. yup thats me
In kindergarden my teacher corrected me and said I was spelling my name wrong. My mother corrected her and told her I knew how to spell my name. Since then I have been very attached to the'sHAUN spelling and kindly correct anyone who gets it wrong. That use to happen all the time when I was younger, but people are more aware of the different spellings now and usually ask me how I spell it.
I reckon that the only reason Shaun has been used as an alternative to Sean is that they could not spell It'sean correctly.
my boyfriends name is shaun everyone thinks its spelt the other ways the name'suits him so well i couldnt think of any other name for him.
Great name. Shame it cannot be directly translated into many other languages. Im guessing you would have to use the root of John. Also people so spell the name wrong depending on where you are. It's also my name. I love the name Anthony and Josh for some reason
Shaun is completely incorrect, as is Shawn. The only legitimate spelling is Sean (or Se❤️n, if you are actually Irish).
My husband's name is Shaun. People say it and spell it wrong all the time. I hate it when I hear other women calls him Shawn. They say it with the 'W' which is not spell with the 'W'. i agree with the guy above. Sean is said to be Seen.
I want to murder everyone that'spells my name'sean. its like, hey have you seen sean❤️ its like a double negative. its retarted. SHAUN
My Name is ShaWn, No one ever gets the'spelling right, but that's cool, as long as the get my surname right!
People never'spell my name right. They say, "Is It's-H-A-W-N or S-E-A-N❤️" SHAWN...maybe!! but SEAN❤️❤️ what does that'spell❤️ SEEN❤️
my brothe's name is shaun and people mis spell it often, but i love the name, and i like how it is so different from other'spellings, becuase i dont know not one other person who spells their names like that. its really unique. great name.
Thats how I spell it. It is better looking beause the u and n are just upside down versions of each other. :)
This is my name....pronounced kaylee. It used to bother me that everyone pronounced it Callie but i would just correct them and tell them that my parents couldn't spell. I love my name and the way it is spelled. It's short and sweet and unique. All other Kalis that I know spell it kaylee and I'm glad to have it the'shorter way. My only regret is that i was also given a 'different' middle name; Roenne. I have come to love both.
