Heehee, that's all I think of when I hear Shirley. :)
I don't think it feels as old-fashioned and dated as names like Mildred and Beulah. I'd group it more with stuff like Carol and Barbara. It does have a pleasant, cheerful sound, and I like the Anne Shirley association. I don't think it would make a comeback really soon, but maybe in another few decades who knows.

I agree!
Shirley does have a lighter feeling to it than something like Mildred or Beulah, and therefore I think it has a better chance of being picked up again. Also, with the interest in all things vintage, I think that helps her chances as well. Shirley screams "slightly lumpy retro" which many people appreciate for their lumpiness (like me).
I don't think it will ever rocket up the charts and take a place in even the top 100, unless there is some glorious Shirley who comes along and charms the public again, but I wouldn't be surprised if it had a modest creep.
