Actually, Shaya is a traditional Hebrew name. They are Jewish, I'm pretty sure. Its an alternate spelling of Shia, like Shia LaBeouf. Many Hebrew names end in vowels, which can make them sound "feminine" to many people's ears. My son has a Hebrew name, my grandfather's name, and it infuriates me when people ask if I "made it up" or assume its a girl's name..

Ladies, we knew that BB was gonna pick something silly -- it's her trademark. Girl doesn't have a brain in her head. She had to continue the stripper names for the son she's ALWAYS WANTED!!!

Cassie - You are 100% right on! Why-oh-WHY do celebs feel that their kids' names need to be sooooo unique!? Like having parents who look like those two isn't unique enough, poor lil' Shaya will constantly be correcting people on the spelling, pronunciation and gender of his name, not to mention why all his sisters were named after strippers. Seriously.

It sounds like a cheap wine you buy in South Atlanta. "Ah yeah, man. I wanna buy a pack of blunts, some rolling papers and teh screw top Shaya Charvet". Is the Ch pronounced like the Sh or like in cheese? Total girls name. Poor kid. 10 bucks says when he is 12 he will make everyone call him Shay so they dont think he is a girl.
