Comments and insights on the name Shawn

Of all the translations of John, I love Shawn the most by far. It has a nice modern ring to it but is not too common. I also very much prefer this spelling as well. It is starting to become very popular amongst young men.

Personal experiences with the name Shawn

My husband's named Shawn Michael and I love his name. When I think of a Shawn I think of someone modern, fun, smart, and charming (everything my husband is of coarse:-).

My husband's name is Shawn Patrick which is a very popular combo, as is Shawn Michael. He always says this is the real spelling of Shawn, not Sean.

^Well he's a twat. Sean is the real spelling

My little brother's name is Shawn Christian. I always thought it was a great combo.

My fiancé's name is Shawn Bryan. I absolutely love it because both spellings are different. He got it from his father who is Bryan Shawn. People who are named Shawn, I believe are all around great people!
