Answer 1

I've never heard the name. This sounded like fun, so I looked at some genealogy web sites.

I looked in a database that records births in Minnesota from 1935-2002. There were four girls given the name Shahla during that time. Two were in the 1960s and two were in the 1990s. At least three of them had a parent with a name that sound Middle Eastern.

There were 15 girls with the named Shahla in Texas (1903-1997) (nine with first name, six with middle name). 14 of the 15 had parents with Middle Eastern (e.g., Mohhamed, Syed, etc) names.

In California (1905-1995), there were 41 girls with Shahla listed either as a first or middle name.
