I want to like Shirley, because I like Shirley Temple, and because I'm a big Anne of Green Gables fan (Anne Shirley), but I can't warm to it as a first name for girls. I think it could make a comeback, but not quite yet.
It also makes me think of Shirley from "Laverne & Shirley" and how Laverne always called her "Shirl". And the joke, "Shirley you jest."
