I am looking for the meaning of Shawna? Does anyone know what this
name stands for? I am also looking for some feedback as to what
your opinion is of the name "Shawna Marie Smith". I am having a baby
in July and have been fighting to find a girls name that I like.
Please tell me what you think?

I like and do not like the Shawna, people inavertadely shorten
names and "Shawn" as a nickname for a girl, I personally don't
care for. However, the entire name together sounds great. What
did you pick for a boys' name?

Shawna and Shawn are the feminine form of Sean, which is the Irish form of John. (according to my book of names). BTW, John is Hebrew meaning "God is gracious". I think Shawna Marie Smith sounds pretty together. Shawna isn't a name I hear very often, unlike Smith, so they compliment each other. - �ori | |||||

If we have a boy, we've decided to name it after both fathers, so
we've decided on Dana Michael Smith.
What do you think?

Both Grandfathers, my father is Michael and my husbands father's
name is Dana. There are 2 Michael's im my family, so we've
decided to have the first name Dana and use Michael as the middle
name.
