Shasta (pronounced shas-tah)
Shiri (pronounced sheer-ee)

WDYT? It's not a sibset or anything, it's just two names that I've heard before and was wondering what people thought about them. I think that Shasta is unisex, though I knew it on a girl. Shiri is a girl's name.

Shasta is kind of different; I remember the first time that I heard someone say it and how weird I thought it was then, but now I like that it's different. I think that Shiri is pretty.

Um, Shasta is a mountain in California. But I kinda like it, because I love mountains and nature...so I have good associations with it. But apparently most people think of the soda brand...

I had a little girl named Shiri in one of my classes when I used to teach swimming lessons, and I always thought it was such a lovely sounding name. It's a Hebrew/Israeli name, and it means "my song". Her family came here from Israel a few years ago. Her brother's name was Ori, which I also liked...it means "my light". I think their parents were good at picking out names. :o)

I had never even heard of Shasta soda or the mountain until this post. We don't have the drink here, or any mountains from California, haha. So I just think of the one girl I know with the name.
