Shae is nice, it seems quiet and cute and friendly, but I do prefer Shay. Shai looks cool but it sounds too much like the word "shy".

Shae's not a name I'd consider, but it seems pleasant enough. It's simple and sounds old but current. It reminds me of Sean, Seamus, Shannon, Shaina, O'Shea, Rae, Fay, Jay, all the *aiden names. I think of it as unisex. I like it a lot more for guys than I like Shane, and I like it a lot more for girls than I like Fay.I wouldn't have known Shai was pronounced the same (I want it to rhyme with eye) despite being familiar with Shaina, so I'm not a fan of that spelling.

My father's name is Shay, so the names feel more masculine to me. I don't like how they're spelled, too frilly.

Shae is ok as a nn for a girl

They both look more like nicknames than full names. I find them flimsy.

Love on both! So pretty; sweet but also striking and strong. Girl: Shai > Shay > Shae
Boys: Shay > Shai > Shae
