HelpRe: Don't call me Shirley...
in reply to a message by Joiya
Is Shirley dated or frumpy? Shirley you jest! It IS both frumpy AND dated, imo, thanks to: (1) Shirley Temple and (2) "Airplane." Also, and very importantly, I just don't care for the sound of it. I'm trying to picture it with fresh eyes the way I once viewed Ashley ... and nope, it's just not working for me.
Still, Shirley is so much better for a female. My dd's fiancée's step-grandfather is named Shirley. I'd say he's in his late 70s or early 80s. The name definitely works better for a female and the meaning is nice, I agree with you there. My youngest and I were looking up Leslie the other day and it has a very nice meaning as well. Not all surnames do.
BTW, the Heidi / Shirley connection is pretty cool.
