At 11:19 in the video clip below, Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Tammy Lee asks Chris Watts [on the record] how to say and spell Shan’ann’s name. Watts answers:
“So the way they spelled it, it was like Shan Ann. Like with an apostrophe…She was named after Sha Na Na.”
Chris and all of her friends pronounce her name “Shah-nan” but her parents say “Shannon”, so it’s confusing

His parents call her shanann (pronounced shannon). If she was named after “sha na na” then why isn’t her name spelled shanana ?? He lies in about the dumbest shit

Didn’t he also say that you pronounce it as in “shenanigans?”

I think Nickole Atkinson said “as in shenanigans” to a detective.

If the “Sha Na Na” thing is true, then “Shannon” sounds more like “Sha Na Na” than “Shan’Ann” as in “shenanigans”.
There’s *definitely* shenanigans, though.

They also had a short-lived variety show back in the late seventies or early eighties.
Such an obscure act to name one’s child after, but hey, I’ve seen way more “outrageous” names than hers. I have a soft spot for the actual name “Shannon”, though. I had a good friend by that name, and I just think it’s so pretty.
