I prefer Shawn to Shaughnessy, but can't say that I've heard it used for a girl. Doesn't mean you can't though! I have a good friend whose Canadian and she's called Shawna.

bahahahahahaha My DP is a 'Sean'
I always liked Elliot for a girl but I could not get Sean to agree to it. And the only way I could get him to agree to Violette was by spelling it the French way, because whenever he saw it spelled Violet he said he could only see the word Violent.

The name Shawn for a girl has really grown on me since the start of this thread. I really quite like it just on its own and I am sure spelling with a 'w' as opposed to a 'ea' or a 'u' makes it slightly girlier.
I am also quite fond of nicknaming it Shawnie, I just love baby names with the added 'ie' at the end.
Thats just my two cents worth.

My ex's brother's female friend was called 'Sean-Marie' I remember when she introduced herself as Sean I had to clarify that she just said 'Sean, sean as in the male name?' LOL! But after a while I quite warmed to it, although personally I would go for Siobhan or Shavaughn (sp?) myself coz I love that name, I can think of a few variations of cutesie names that could come from them 'shaz, shazzy, vaughny, vonnie, shazza, sabby ....ahh the list is endless'.
But I'm odd, so maybe don't pay attention to little old me

I just remembered, if you're looking for non-gender specific names but want people to be able to tell she's female initially then what about....
Antonia? ....Toni for short?
If I had a girl Antonia was on my very long list of girl names, Antonia Siobhan ...will keep that in mind for when I'm 35 and decide I'm getting older and am ready for another lol!

I quite like the name Shawn for a girl, I started liking it after seeing Shawn Johnson in the gymnastics at the olympics and to me seeing it spelt with a W automatically makes me think girl but thats just me.
We had to think of a non-gender specific name when I was pregnant (and overdue) for a plane ticket for next April because at the time we didn't know what we were having and my dad came up with Alex, this name wasn't on our lists for bub at all, and then when I was in labour we were talking about how Alexandra/Alexander would actually be a cool name and so she ended up Alexandra when born... sorry not sure my point except that maybe Alexandra/Alexander are great names  I like the idea of having a long formal name that can be made into a cute kid name.
Sorry my comment really doesn't help at all... but also just needed to add
mmmm hofff

Me too. Plus I know way too many guys called 'Seanie' to ever think of it as a female name.
Also I've always known Shaughnessy to be pronounced 'Shock-nessy' not a name I would give a boy or a girl

the more i read through the thread the more i liked it but Chaun would seem more girlie to me but im strange and prefer some letters to others. I always have to spell my name to people but it doesnt bother me as i would have preferred my name spelt with an i instead of a y (Terry-Anne). The only reason i have Anne on the end is because my nana had a huge moan about Terry being a boys name. I would much prefer to have been Terri but even if people shortened my name to that apparently my nana insisted on correcting them. I like people shortening it to TA now tho.
