We personally know someone who recently named his daugher Shira & then heard about this tumult. He wrote to Rav Chaim that he heard the Rov does not like the name. He got back the reply “tizrok et hayud” (in other words, call her Sarah). However, he asked an American godol who was a bit taken aback (well, clearly, as we’ve heard, not all poskim agree) … we have not heard the resolution yet.
