Ashley is all boy

Nobhead · 15/05/2012 20:49

I love it- spelling and all. It's on my list of girls names.

Geranium3 · 15/05/2012 20:48

No way! sorry, sounds common and naff!

EBDTeacher · 15/05/2012 20:42

Aisling? Less dated.

WetAugust · 15/05/2012 20:27

very dated

Showmethemhappyfeet · 15/05/2012 16:26

It's my names, never really bothered me to be honest

nizlopi · 15/05/2012 14:43

Hate the spelling, Ashley is nicer.

ThePieSmuggler · 15/05/2012 09:01

I really dislike it, sorry.

SodoffBaldrick · 15/05/2012 09:00

Ashleigh - that spelling - seems very 80s/90s to me. I'd lump it in with Kelly and Lisa type names. Not to my taste, but not awful. Just a bit dated.

I was at school with a male Ashleigh (not sure now how he spelled it) and also think of Peacock, the butcher in Corrie.

Go for it! Mind you I'm biased, my middle name is Ashley. Grin your spelling is the better one.

For a boy or girl?

I say this as I went to school with an Ashleigh (male).

sonniebonnie · 14/05/2012 21:29

Well, I probably wouldn't choose it myself but it does make a refreshing change from all the Evies, Ellies and Millies around here. It is a perfectly normal feminine name. If you love it, why not?

poppy283 · 14/05/2012 21:28

Sorry it's a nay from me, reminds me if that cartoon 'recess' where there were 3 Ashleys, all with sisters called Britney.

So I suppose it's too American sounding for my tastes.

PacketOfBiscuits · 14/05/2012 21:19

I quite like it.
