Shirley Temple wasn't responsible for the initial popularity of her first name, but she certainly helped to sustain it into the 1950s.  Shirley spent 46 years (1918-1963) in the top 100, 14 of them in the top 10 (1927-29, 1931-41), peaking at #2 in 1935 and 1936.  (Her first movies were released in 1935.)

The "Shirlie" variant hit the chart twice:  1926 (#986) and 1935 (#895).
