One of my friends had a daughter back in January and actually named her Shirley, after her grandmother... and, honestly, that's who I picture when I hear the name Shirley. It's super dated. Aside from that baby all the Shirleys I know are 60+. Until the baby I'd never met yet a young Shirley. It feels very old, very old fashioned, and I really don't know that it will get a comeback any time soon. Maybe once the current generation of Shirleys have passed on and the name has been 'dead' for a little while it may have a chance but that'd be like 50 years from now.

I also don't hear it in the same style as Ashley, Bailey, etc A similar ending doesn't make it the same. Those names you listed are all very youthful.
