Comment left Oct 12, 2008: "My son was born on October 4,2008 and I wanted to give him something unique an identity that truely said individual. The name Shane seemed to fit the bill, and reading thru the blogs most said it was meant as "john" or "god is gracious" or "gift from god" I chose the name because I read that its meaning was "beloved" And like a few others he is my miracle child, so the name suits him well. Definitely love his name for a boy :)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 03, 2008: "I think Shane is a beautiful boy's name that is not overused or trendy. It has a certain edge to it that makes it very classic. Masculine names are often one-syllabled, and this one is definitely very virile. It's known that a child tends to excel more in school when his name is not one of the bunch; he gets more attention with a unique name and is motivated to do well. I think this name is a gem."

Comment left Oct 03, 2008: "I like my name. It's short, and generally just sounds good. My father chose it because he liked the sound of it. Of course I hated the way people would pick on it by saying 'Shane the pain' or refer to the book Shane, but I wouldn't change my name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 17, 2008: "We named our daugher Shayne who was born in 1999. We love the name. Her middle name is Marie. We get lots of compliments on it. She loves it. I am glad we didn't choose a boring common name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 27, 2008: "I gave a lot of thought to naming my firstborn and am happy to say I chose the name Shane for my son. First of all, the name means God's grace - what can beat that? Besides having this wonderful meaning, the name also has the cool factor to it. It's unique and not trendy that'll get dated. Didn't want to name my son another Joshua or Ethan. But most of all, I love that it means God's grace." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jul 19, 2008: "My husbands name is Shane and I just love his name. I think it's unique and a very nice (and kinda sexy!!) name. He gets called Shawn a lot though which bugs us both! The only real problem with his name is that his last name is Johnson and Shane is a form of Shawn which is a form of John so he always teases his dad that he named him "John Johnson". His parents didn't realize that it was a form of John when they named him that. It's a wonderful name and I also love it for a girl!!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 10, 2008: "I've always like me name "Shane". I was born at the height of it's popularity in 1972 after my Dad's favorite movie. It certainly holds up over bad 70's male names like Shannon (one of my friends). I got the usual childhood taunts as well "Shane, Come back Shane.", "Shane The Pain", "Shane The Brain" even "Shaney Wayney". I've been called Shawn so many times, I've got where I just ignore it. I still can't see how people can read it wrong, I mean come on, S-H-A-N-E, it's so easy. I've met several other Shane's that are my age, but not many that are younger than me. I like the name so much, I gave it as a middle name for my son." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 15, 2008: "i'm a female Shane as well, born in Canada in1972 and named after Shane Gould, the 1972 Australian Olympic Swimming Champion. i love my name- it's strong. people tend to say they love the name shane for a girl, though i have never met another woman with my name. there's a character in the movie "some kind of wonderful" called Shayne and also lorenzo lamas' daughter- but they both spell it with a "y". i like to say, 'no "y", just plain shane like the cowboy!'"

Often get called Sean so I respond to that also. It's a great name & seems to get a positve response during introductions" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 09, 2008: "I think Shane is an great name....now. As a kid I always wanted to be a Jason but eventually the name just grew on me. And like everyone says its a rare name, When I hear my name called I know they mean me. There is no Shane #2 in my group, unlike the andrews in my group of friends." (Report as inappropriate)
