I named my daughter Shelby after my father. His middle name is Shelby and so was his father's. He asked that none of us gave it to a son, but when I asked him if I could name my daughter Shelby he was OK with it.

My Name Is Shelby And I Happen To Be A Girl. (: I Love My Name. Although There Are A Lot Of Shelbys But I Was Named After The Shelby Cobra By My Grandfather Who I Happened To Be Very Close With As Growing Up, He Was Like A Father To Me Because My Dad Was Always Working. But He Named Me Shelby Neva. The Middle Name Is Unique And I Love It, It Was His Moms Middle Name. But Shelby Is More Of A Girls Name To Me. (:

Much like "Ashley", Shelby was more common for boys many years ago, but has been used more recently as a girl's name. The author Shel Silverstein (Falling up, where the sidewalkk ends, etc) was actually named Shelby.
