Sharon Marsh is Stan's mom in South Park. She is one of the more level-headed adults in the show and I always love watching her trying to put up with her husband's crazy shenanigans!

Sharon Needles is the stage name of Aaron Coady, an American drag performer and recording artist. A self-described "stupid genius, reviled sweetheart, and PBR princess," Needles rose to prominence on the fourth season of the Logo reality competition series RuPaul's Drag Race, where she quickly became a fan favorite and was subsequently crowned "America's Next Drag Superstar" in April 2012.

Sharon is the name of a young girl in the 1977 British public safety film "Apaches." The film was meant to warn children not to play on farm equipment; it did this by showing all but one of the six main characters die from horrific accidents. The way Sharon dies is particularly nightmare-inducing; after accidentally swallowing rat poison, she wakes up in the middle of the night calling for her mother while crying and screaming in agony (the poison melted her internal organs). The audience doesn't see Sharon die (thank God), but hearing her tortured screams will be enough to keep you awake at night.

Like Jonquil said, one of the first famous bearers was an English MALE writer named Sharon Turner, who was born in 1768 and died in 1847.
Another, sort of famous, male bearer of Sharon born before the 1920s was Secretary of State of Illinois, Sharon Tyndale, born in 1816 and died in 1871, who took up that post from 1865 to 1869.
Some other, less famous, examples of 19th century Sharons include:
- Sharon Wright, female, born around 1821 in Essex, England
- Sharon Morton, male, born around 1845 in Bradwell, Derbyshire, England
- Sharon Field, male, born around 1785 in Northfield, Massachusetts in the US (taken from death index)
- Sharon Shattuck, female, born around 1798 in Massachusetts in the US (living in Amherst by the time of the 1850 US Census)
So, although it became more popular as a feminine name after the mid-1920s, it isn't fair to say that it has been in use as a given name since the 1920s. What's more, it used to be mainly unisex, sometimes leaning towards being a masculine name.
I would also like to point out that it's also used in Israel, where it's given to both men/boys and women/girls.

Here are some lovely songs with the name Sharon.
Check out "I Ain't Sharin' Sharon" by Bobby Darin or James Darren or Even Hank Williams Jr. In my opinion, these versions are much better than Jim Stafford's. It's a fun, upbeat track. Also "Song for Sharon" from the timeless Joni Mitchell. Beautiful, interesting song. And S.H.A.R.O.N by Deacon Blue.

Sharon Tate (1943-1969) is a famous bearer of this name. Sharon Tate was an American film actress of the 1960s. In life, she was noted for her beautiful good looks, her sexy roles in films like Valley of the Dolls, and her marriage to film director Roman Polanski. Sadly, she is probably most famous for her grisly death at the hands of the Manson Family in the summer of 1969. She was eight and a half months pregnant at the time of her murder.
