The author and illustrator of some of my favourite childhood books was Shirley Hughes. I loved the books so much that I am introducing them to my youngest niece (30 months) who now puts it as she wants big girl books. I was thinking how rarely I have heard the name Shirley and that both women I have known with this name would have been in their 60s, one early and one late. I would be very surprised to see it on a little girl but wonder if it may make a small comeback in the next generation as people potentially start naming their daughter after their grandmother or great grandmother. WDYT of Shirley and what middle names would you use?
