Apologies to anyone with the name, but it seems a bit American white trash. Very few Irish girls are actually called Shannon, and if they are, they often have sisters called Shakira and Wivenny (spelled Yvonne).

Mississippi and Thames aren't very cool names either...

I had a swim in the River Shannon and I can assure its very cool! (``)

The River Shannon (Sionainn or Sionna in Irish) is, at 386 km (240 miles), the longest river in Ireland.[1][2] It divides the west of the island of Ireland (principally the province of Connacht) from the east and south (Leinster and most of Munster). County Clare, being west of the Shannon but part of the province of Munster, is the major exception. The river represents a major physical barrier between east and west, with fewer than twenty crossing-points between Limerick city in the south and the town of Carrick on Shannon in the north.

The Shannon has been an important waterway since antiquity, having first been mapped by the Graeco-Egyptian geographer Ptolemy. The river flows generally southward from the Shannon Pot in County Cavan before turning west and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean through the 113 km (70 mi) long Shannon Estuary. Limerick city stands at the point where the river water meets the sea water of the estuary. The Shannon is unaffected by sea tides east of Limerick.

I've got to agree a bit with Priscilla Duck. the names Shannon and Erin (and Colleen) and more common in use outside of Ireland, especially among Americans.
Back in the 60's there were two Shannons in my class at school (which was in canada)--it was considered a very unusual name back then and to have two girls called that in a class of 30 was considered extraordinary.

Lee is a cool name but Liffey isn't. And sher God help ya if you're named after the River Suck.....

Very cool, love the name. ---Meaning: Gaelic name from Seanan meaning "old river". so for the response ahead of mine, who once swam the river, that was funny!
