    I love James, like Adam & not fussed on Dylan.
    Emily is so pretty - theres a lot of them about tho. I'm not mad about Lauren but I don't think its a horrible name or anything like that.

    I like all those names.
    Keelan is one of those I like but I am unsure about,it sounds very like Caoilfhionn and Caolán and i think it has the same etymology but I would think of it as a surname.
    I think it sounds very girlie as a 1st name.

    Keelan is lovely but I would use it for a girl more so.

    Maybe I'm a bit old-school, but if I were to want to call a child Shay or Jamie, I'd probably call them James (or Seamus) and then maybe use the shortened version(s), depending on what suited them. (No reason you couldn't just register them as Shay or Jamie, of course, it's just a personal preference of mine.)

    I don't like Keelan, myself.

    I'm the kind of person who doesn't like children being given shortened names like Bobby instead of Robert or Ollie for Oliver...a lot of people seem to be going for the "ie" sound at the end of names these days...agree?

    Yup, I find it irritating! Just give the child the full name on the birth certificate and call him/her the shortened one if you like. Millie and Maisie may be cute now but they have to grow up!
