My grandma's name is Shirley Joan. Although, her baptismal certificate calls her Marie Shirley Joan, because the priest refused to baptize her as Shirley, which he said was "not a real name". (She was totally named after Shirley Temple)

I think it could be revival-worthy. If names like Lucille and Rosemary and such are becoming cool again, why not Shirley? I'd keep it as the classic Shirley - Shirlee, Shirli, Shirleigh etc are just awful.

I personally dislike the name, but I can see its potential. My grandma used to get called Shirl sometimes, which I thought was kinda cute.
