Hi ladies x
We recently selected a name for our baby girl “Shayna” and we love it as means beautiful/god is gracious. Now all of a sudden my sister in law says that it has a bad hidden meaning in english slang! I couldn’t find it anywhere online and I’m not native! Anyone knows of any hidden meaning for name “Shayna”?
Thanks x

Does she mean British English? I’ve never heard of Shayna being used as slang, but I guess I’m not the most up on what the kids are saying these days. I think it’s pretty.

What did she say the hidden meaning was?

Not at all. I just looked online too and couldn’t find anything. I think you’re ok!
I really don’t know, she just mentioned in slang… Thanks for replying ❤️
She said it means a slut!!! I’ve never heard of it though and couldn’t find anything online for it…
Thanks for your reply! It’s reassuring ❤️

I wouldn’t take her serious especially if we can’t find it on the internet….honestly that’s why I didn’t tell anyone my baby’s name because I don’t want anyone convincing me it’s a bad name

This is why I’m not telling certain people my name options
You’re all right! This was our agreement as well, but my husband got a bit excited and just told the name… But I 100% agree it’s best not to tell people so their opinions are kept to themselves. Thanks all xx
