About Shirleyann
Quaint, quirky, and slightly clunky, Shirleyann is a smoosh name with a 30s feel about it. An unexpected vintage choice, a potential honor name, or perhaps for diehard fans of Anne of Green Gables (though maybe Shirleyanne would be better).
Pronounced SHUR-lee-an.
As of October 2026, Shirleyann ranked #14136 in US births in 2016 SSA, peaked at #902 in 1935.
