Gary was not used as a first name until Gary Cooper became a movie star

And ever since he died it's been declining

Like Gary, Shirley was a last name that became a first name (as often happens in America). It only became a girl's name with Shirley Temple -- earlier there was a famous DC sportswriter named Shirley Povich (father of Maury)
