There was a girl in my class at school called Aisling. She pronounced it 'Ashling'.

more of a hybrid between the two wouldn't know how to write it down.
That's how my family say my cousin's name - they are from Waterford in SE Ireland. I guess there are regional variances

Ash-ling no question. The one on BB was actually Aisleyne or something like that!
