In the manga Emma by Kaoru Mori (I think), set in late 19th century England, you can find an old lady called Kelly. In Kaoru's manga Shirley there is not only a young girl called Shirley, but also a young woman called Bennett. Were these names used for girls this early? I know that Charlotte Brontë made Shirley fashionable for girls in the middle of the 19th century, but here it's given to a young girl from the working-class.
