When I was picking Elle up from nursery I was talking to a woman also picking up her children. She had newborn b/g twins with her called Shannon & Riley, and was picking up daughter Emily.

So when I got the monthly news letter it said how Emellie has a new brother Shannon & sister Rhylee.
I'm hoping it was just a typo and that Shannon is the little girl.

Others listed on the letter were:  (sibs in brackets) 

Leah Avery (Jonah 2)
Peyton Ross, Jonathan Paul, Edward Shawn (Alice 3, Rebecca 2)
Jak Malachi Seamus (Shevon 7, Ben 2)
Isabel (Emily 7, William 4, Thomas 4, Samuel 2)
Mekaylar Sky  (Ava 2)


WDYT?

Shannon is a boy's name, too... but those spellings (Emellie and Rhylee) are atrocious. And Mekaylar is just tragic.

Shannon was a boys name before it was a girl's name, if my Irish friends (straight off the boat) are correct.

I've met a man named Shannon before. I actually like it on a boy, but wouldn't use it because it's really no longer a unisex name.

Mekaylar is just awful. Emellie? Rhylee? Shevon? Jak? WTF? What exactly was wrong with Emily, Riley, Siobhan or Jack? I don't mind certain alternative spellings of Emily, but Emellie is just mind-bogglingly terrible.

I went to junior high with a guy named Channon (I'm pretty sure that's how he spelled it). I thought he was a jerk *shrugs*.

Shannon can most definitely be a guy's name.

Shannon is a boys name though, isn't it? Rhylee is awful on anybody though. I feel bad that Shevon's parents thought that they had to spell Siobhan that way. And yeah, Mekaylar.

I like Avery (despite myself), Peyton (for girls), Malachi, Seamus and Samuel.

As many have said Shannon is boy's name as well.
My female cousin is named Shannon but I also know an Irish guy named Shannon.

And actually, I just remembered, an Asian guy named Shannon as well.

Anyone know who Shannon Leto is? He's Jared Leto's big brother and a drummer for 30 Seconds to Mars.

I like boys with 'girl' names. <3

I don't mind Shannon for a boy but when his twin sister got the more-masculine name . . . That's just not nice.

while shannon is usually used for a girl, it is in fact a unisex name.

I love the sibset of Emily, William, Thomas, Samuel and Isabel (although I normally HATE William).
Classy.
Timeless.
Gender-specific.
No troubles with spelling.
Have potential nn (if you're into that kind of thing).
Just. Perfect.

Then there's Shevon and Jak and Mekaylar...

Shannon is Shane West's real name. I always think of it on a girl though!
