Shelby has chav written all over it. Isn't it also Barbie's younger sister doll thingy? It screams 80s at me and that is NOT good.

Don't like it sorry - it made me think of Barbie.

Good name for a tortoise.

Steel Magnolias is all I think of. Sorry.

Thank you Mumsnet. My main goal of positing was to put DH off this name. I achieved it in about three minutes!

Wouldn't choose it for my daughter but then again ... Shelby Lynne ... fabulous singer/songwriter ... could work if you like it :o)

Awful name

SpringDaffodils · 29/05/2011 18:53

Gorgeous and not chav at all

SilveryMoon · 29/05/2011 18:56

I quite like it. Does scream 1980's but, the more I say it, the more it's growing on me.

littleoscarsmama · 30/05/2011 14:41

Chav with a capital C

MarissaMum · 30/05/2011 18:04

Shelby was a character in Blossom, so reminds me of that!

MarissaMum · 30/05/2011 18:04

Or was it My Two Dads?!

SilveryMoon · 30/05/2011 18:29

Think it was My 2 Dads. Loved that program
