[Opinions] Shayne

I saw it spelled Cheyne on television the other night. I thought it would be prn Chey-nee when I saw it (like the US vice president's last name), but then, someone on the show called him "Shane". I know the spelling for sure because it was one of those reality type shows where they actually put the name on the screen. Chey / Chay would work there, but it's a stretch because of the SH v the CH sound. I don't like the Cheyne spelling anyway, but just mentioning it.

I agree Cheyne is horrible & disfigures Shane. I am a little tired of the spelling Shane. Shayne is the spelling used in one of my favourite musician's name: Shayne Ward. I also thought Shayne would convert into the nn Chay more naturally.

fair enough...

Oops, I didn't realize you were going for the Ch-sound & not the Sh-sound. Silly me. My first suggestion would be Chet, but I guess Chase could work (I really dislike that name).
