I am older (54) so the women who were named Shirley when it was at its peak in the 1930s were in their forties by the time I was a teenager. Most of them are dead now, I'm sure. But the name did stay in the top 100 through 1963, so there are still plenty of older women around named Shirley---older, but not dead yet. That's what makes me think I'm still in the majority. Shirley could well come to be seen as a shiney old gem by the majority, but, if that happens, I don't think it will be for another 30 to 40 years.
