Comments and insights on the name Sheila

Cute name and pretty rare!

One of my favorite names - I think it's so pretty! Sheila and Veronica are two of my favorite names

I also think it's a beautiful name and if I'd had a daughter I might have named her Sheila Marie or Sheila Renee.

Interesting name.

Ashlie, Elisha, Sheila, and Shelia are anagrams of each other; they contain the same letters.

Personal experiences with the name Sheila

It seems like my name is spelled wrong more often than right. SHEILA is often misspelled as SHIELA or SHELIA. I spell my name out slowly when I have to provide information, but if it's being copied from other paperwork, there's a better-than-average chance that it will be wrong.

My name is Sheila and I was born in 1985. Was named after my great Aunt. Only bad experiences I had with the name was people saying it like a donkey (heee haww - sheee lawww) - that's about it! Can't really come up with teasing names with this one. I like the unique of it - although it was annoying as a kid I could never find my name on anything like pens or paper (they have stuff like that now that I'm an adult). Although this isn't a name I would personally choose for my children, it's a nice name and I dont have any complaints! I've only ever met 2 Sheila's my whole life... so its rare!

I am a Sheila that was born in the age of She-Ra, the "princess of power." So, I got some teasing from that. But, it's a pretty great name overall. I'm a fan. :-)

I have a manager named Sheila and I'm pretty sure she's bipolar. She's really nice and is a great manager... when she's having a good day.

An adult in my school is name Sheila whose in her 50's.

It's such a fun and unique name to have! It is a bit frustrated to have your name spelt wrong constantly, but you know who your real friends are if they spell your name right! I have only met there others with same name, and one was the woman I was named after. -Sheila ;)

My mom is named Sheila. She is 48. It drives her crazy when her name is spelt Shiela. We’ve seen some pretty far-off misspellings, like Sheylia. Her Brazilian father-in-law always called her Shayla. Other than that, great name.
