Default Shandi - how would you pronounce it?
I saw this name (Shandi) it's celtic and was wondering if you would read it as:

Shandy like beer and lemonade
Sandy with a silent H
or
Sharn dee how I would imagine an irish person saying it

Thanks

I would say it like Shandy. I wouldn't have thought to say it with a silent h, and i'm not irish nor did i know how its traditional pronounced so I didn't even think it could be sharn-dee, which I think is what you'd find with most people.

Yeah. I saw shandy the drink too.
You could make it Sharndi though.
I think it's pretty & different either way.

My first thoughts were that I would pronounce it as "Sharn dee"
But, upon googling the name, there was a contestant on Americas Next Top Model who had this name and she pronounced it as "Shayn dee"
Hope this helps

ETA - Oh, babynamer has an option where you can listen to the name and they pronounce it as "Sharn dee" too.Here it is

I think to make it more celtic, you might like to spell it differently, like Siande.
Plus then it will sound more like She-uhn-dee which is a bit classier than Shan-dee, kwim?
Just be aware the beer and lemonade thing will follow her around for life!

Thanks for all your opps. DH thought I was crazy about Shandy, but I knew that's how most people would take it I most certainly don't want to name my children after beer and lemonade!!!

THANKS
