Real life Shelby here! I didn’t love it growing up, still find it just fine. My Mom still really likes it and I get complimented on it from time to time.

I didn’t like that it had no easy nicknames growing up. I have never met a dog with my name but could see it working well. I was the only Shelby in my class (another moved to my school in third grade) and there were three in the year below me. I don’t like most Shelby’s I’ve met and find the name either feels dated and clunky or sourthern charm adjacent wannabe. I’ve met someone who’s mother (born in the 40s was named Shelby) otherwise almost all of them are around my age range of 30ish.
