I notice the graph for Shirley as a boy's name drops off in almost a straight cliff in the 1930's. I think what happened is Shirley Temple became popular and established the name Shirley as a girl's name from that point on.
Years ago I read in a baby column: "If you name him Shirley, teach him to fight!"
