I like Shelby for a girl, what do you think of it?

Like "shelby coming round the mountain"?

Don't like it - sorry

Don't think watching the Simpsons is "sad". But what do I know!

Shelby Lynne - great singer, dodgy name

Carroll Shelby - great car designer, er no comment on his name

It is the town next to Springfield in The Simpsons - Shelbyville.

I would say that most children growing up now are exposed to The Simpsons and I would suspect that an awful lot over the next few years will be too (plus thise with older siblings etc) so it may be worth bearing in mind?

Just think of Steel Magnolias

No - I really dont like it, sounds to nicknamey and American.
I had a professor at uni called Shelby, and it always surprised me because the name and the profession just didnt seem to match

it has never been a fave of mine I must admit, but actually, sitting here and saying it it is kind of growing on me

No. Everyone will think of Julia Roberts in that film where she dies and leaves a young child.
