It's my mom's name and she was named after her aunt. It was a bit dated in my mom's generation and she doesn't like her name. I'm not so fond of it myself.

I like it and I wouldn't mind seeing it on a child. It sounds bright, just as the meaning implies.

Deserves a comeback I say.

I hate it. I had a horrible stepmother named Shirley when I was growing up, so this name is forever tainted because of her.

I don't like the name. I just can't get past its ugliness, even though I love the awesome Shirley Manson from the band Garbage. She hasn't changed my opinion on the name.

No. Absolutely not.

All I can think of is Shirley Phelps-Roper.

It reminds me of my sister-in-law, whose name it is. She's not a bad person, but she is an annoying one. So I associate Shirley with a loud screechy voice. It's definitely dated. I don't care for it much, though I don't think it's horrible.

I dont think its too dated. It reminds me of Shirley Manson from the band Garbage. She is gorgous.
