HelpRe: Don't call me Shirley...
in reply to a message by Joiya
I kind of like Shirley. Not enough to use it, and it was way ahead of its time so that when other surnamey names got popular in the seventies it was already way out of style.
But it does have a friendly, grandma image that isn't unattractive. The original spelling is fine, the others just call attention to it and make it seem even more dated.
I like Shirley a damn sight better than I like Meadow, that's for sure.
And believe it or not, I know a little Shirley, she's about ten. Her family is from Jamaica.
I think, therefore I judge.

Do you know what they call little Shirley? (by her full name or a nickname?)

they just call her Shirley ...
She's in this program where older students go to other classrooms for a little bit each day and help the younger kids with their reading and such. That's how my Valerie knows her. They did some activity where they made up fancy name tags for themselves, and Shirley put Shirley Ann on her own tag, but so far as I know, she isn't called Shirley Ann on an everyday basis.
