I recently met someone someone named Shalyn, pronounced 'Shay-Lin,' and I really love her name, and would consider it if I ever had a girl. I feel like people might pronounce her spelling as 'Shah - lin,' however. How would you spell it?

This is my best friends name! I love it - probably just cause I love her so much too
I call her Sha-Sha (like shay ). She spells it Shalin, so that's the spelling I associate with it.
Of your options I like Shalyn or Shaylin

I also know a Chaelyn, but out of our options I like Shaelyn.

I think all of your choices except for Shailyn have the obvious pronunciation (to me) of "shay-lyn". I don't know if I have a preference of one over another. If you think you might/she might want to go by just "Shay" or "Shae" as a nickname and you prefer one over the other, I would let that influence my choice.

i know a Shaelyn so I chose that. I feel like there's no mistaking that spelling! But Shaylin would work too probably.

Probably Shaylin just so it would be more obvious how it should be pronounced.
