The girl's name Shayna \sha(y)-na\ is pronounced SHAY-na.
It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "beautiful". Variant of Shaina.
After all the 'tries' nothing was really just right. everything had "that's good...but". Then I had the Shea stuck on my mind, It was the first time something felt right. Shealynn was the first name I liked. I went through several Shea sounding names, and Shayna was our 'perfect fit". So finally I have a lil peace of mind. I'm ready for ya Baby Shea!
Major players:
Lydia- I wanted that name since I was little, and Lydia Mea sounded great, but it just didn't 'fit' or feel right.
Sawyer- our first serious consideration, but just wasn't 'perfect'
Payton- picked it as the name, but then just didn't like it.
Mackenzie- a cute name and nice nickname 'ability's' but over used... there are like 6 kenzie's in Kyla's current daycare.
Hayden- Matt really liked this one, I like it but it felt to masculine.
Skye- (or Skylar) a cute name and it always pops up, but never sticks.
Leah- A very good name, but just didn't stand up against Shayna.
Other contenders:
Chelsea, Dillon, Kaya, Paige, Misty, Myah, Mya, Ziva, Dakota, Makayla, Destiny, Logan, Tia, Jaylynn, Madelyn, Luna, Evangeline, Jasmine, Trinity, Sage, Sadie, Serenity, Kiri, Wren, Jada...
