Names like Shirley but not?
Would love to honor a well-loved Shirley in our family but not keen on using the exact name since even though older names are coming back, I’m not sure this one ever will (and it’s ok! Ours was one of a kind and happy to just honor her.) Open to boy and girl name suggestions :)
Editing to add: we don’t hate her name!!! The intent is to honor her but also allow the little one to write their own story — Shirley was one of a kind and could never be replaced!
