I'd use Gillian and perhaps Sylvia as mns - more likely Gillian. And also Rosemary, which I might even consider as a fn.
My dislike of -een names (Eileen, Doreen) extends to Jacqueline, which I'm afraid was probably pronounced Jackweleen. Carol is somewhat OK, but that -ole spelling kills it. Marion would be improved as Marianne. Sheila should be pretty - it's such a quiet name, impossible to shout - and I do prefer it to Shirley, just, but I wouldn't use either.
Brenda, Linda, June and Joyce make my toes curl up with horror.
Combos:
Gillian Rosemary
Sheila Dorothy

I once worked with a Jacqueline who would have been born at about that time, and she pronounced it JACKAL inn. Yuck!

Ah! Love Many of these!
Carole wins for favorite. Gillian, Joyce, June, Rosemary, Wendy, and Shirley are all tied for second. Angela gets special mention for being great.
Shirley is a treo favor of mine, but it rarely get's love online.
Gillian is adorable, though I must admit I prefer Jillian, nn Jill.
Sheila I despise. It was one of my grandmother's names, and I have always found it quite ugly. Not sure why. Doreen is also quite "cheap" sounding to me, for some reason.
Irene is a classy choice on the list.
I would make the following combos:
Carole June
Angela Joyce
