Shay's nickname?!
I've never heard of a girl named Shannon creating the nickname Shay before me lol. I thought I was unique and had made it up myself. I wonder where she got her nickname from?
shareActually Shay is a pretty popular unisex name, variant spelling of the Irish name Shea-pronounced 'shay'. Mainly of Irish origin, though it can also be of English and Hebrew origin as well with varying meanings depending on the origin. Seems most commonly used in the 80's and 90's. A very pretty name. Not usually a nickname for Shannon as it is unrelated in meaning. It is a given name in its own right but can be used as a nickname for other non-related names such as Shayla and Shayna. Yes I am a name freak, always have been. I love studying names and their origin and meaning.
