  1. We named him Shai because it means gift in Hebrew (we’re Israeli). I had an emergency c-section because he swallowed meconium. After a very traumatic birth, he was definitely our little gift. 🙂

  2. It’s an Israeli name and my husband’s family is Israeli. I think it’s a strong sounding name, even though it is pronounced the same as the word “shy.” It’s also really simple, which I like.
