HelpRe: Don't call me Shirley...
in reply to a message by queenv
I keep remembering this girl I went to school with. Early 90s and the class was full of Ashley, Megan and Heathers... and along comes Loretta. Loretta? My name (Heidi) was not so common in a good way, but poor Loretta could never seem to get past her frumpy name.
I don't want to name some kid and have them end up with Loretta of the 90s predicament. Loretta is pretty in and of itself, but it just did NOT fit the times. It was past antique-chic and right into dusty.
SO, I guess your post makes me wonder if you are the majority (who still associates Shirley with relics) or if I am (who thinks it is a shiney old gem just waiting for a bit of polish)?
