Half of everyone given the name was born by 1958, and the 1940s alone account for 16%.
Sherley is used for both sexes: 18% of its bearers are boys (264), most of them born around 1936.

Other spellings in the data
What this page does not tell you. The Social Security data records how many babies were given a name, not what the name means or where it comes from — so neither do we. Counts cover people with a Social Security number; names given to fewer than five babies in a year are withheld. More on the data.
