ps. I never thought of this but my last name is oshaughnessy and I see that sean can be spelt Shaughn..which is in my last name

[politicking.livejournal.com]

i never saw it spelled that way until i went to that website... but now i'm like, well it is spelled Vaughn, so why not Shaughn, it's the same sound lol.

Lol if i liked the name sean I would so do that. But it would be the boys last name, so it could be a little tribute to my maiden name :]

Sean & John, for sure.
Though Sean Bean changed his name from "Shaun" to "Sean".

It's okay, he's still sexy mcsexyson.

I like plain old John, and for the Sean names...I think i just prefer the spelling Sean.

i feel the same way about Jean. i like it as a boys name, said the 'french' way lol. but because of the confusion with the girls Jean, i wouldn't use it.

I hate Sean, I keep wanting to say it "seen". I prefer Shawn as it is how my uncle spells it.

I prefer Sean, but I'm biased, my bf's name is Sean.

[solagirl.livejournal.com]

I love Sean. I also like John, but it feels like a totally different name to me.

John. I like the sound of Sean/Shawn, but hate the way it looks in any way shape or form.

I like Sean the best.... it's my hubby's name XD but I like it spelt Shawn better... (my cousin's name)
I loved that name even before I met my hubby..
