Shirley was so enormously popular that there must be a bajillion grandma and great-grandma Shirleys out there - I wouldn't be surprised at all if it gets a little bit more popular via honouring. I was actually expecting it to have a teensy revival after one of the characters in The Haunting of Hill House series was called
Shirley, but no dice. I think everyone got into
Theodora and
Eleanor instead.
There's something appealing about
Shirley, and Shirl. It's very feminine in a distinctly vintage way, and I like that.
I like
Shirley Claudine a lot from your combos. I think it definitely suits another dusted-off quirky vintage middle name.
I'll play with it a bit:

Shirley Rose is very basic, but it's nice
