I agree with Ceri. Shea or Shay would be much better.

Shea, Shae, or Shay are okay. Sheigh seems like a creative spelling of the same name.

Most likely it's just an inventive spelling of 'Shay' I mean how else are you gonna say it; she? Shy? Shay would be the only logical answer. I far prefer Shay and even Shae. Heck, even Shaye. Sheigh looks strange and off putting, to say the least (very reminiscent of that dreaded -leigh trend) it's just very juvenile. I'd be very reluctant to pick up and finish a book with a character named 'Sheigh' (that spelling), particularly if it was the main character.
