Help[Opinions] Shanna / Shana
What do you think of this name? It's really growing on me. It's not a name that would normally be my style but I like it.
Which spelling do you prefer? I think I slightly prefer Shanna but I don't mind Shana either.
Opinions?
Thanks in advance,
Jamie

I dislike it, either spelling.
It's also confusing for most people to pronounce, for some reason. I work with a girl named Shana, pronounced like SHAN-nah. At first, I thought her name was Shannon, until I saw how it was spelled. But everyone at work seems to call her either SHAWN-ah or SHAY-nah, and that's not how her name is pronounced! The name just seems made up and dated to me, anyway. I've never cared for it. (Though I definitely prefer the SHAN-nah pronunciation over SHAY-nah and definitely over SHAWN-ah).

How are you pronouncing it? Shan-na or Shay-na? Because I know tons of Shanna who pro. it shay-na.
My names is Shayna and I hate it. So much. I also hate Shan-na.
If I had to choose, I'd go with Shanna though. If I had to.

I only like Shana when it's pronounced SHAY-na.
