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

MortifiedAdams · 22/04/2013 20:00

Ash Lane.

Which I now realise is wrong.

thistlelicker · 22/04/2013 19:56

Ash-ling I think

wigglesrock · 22/04/2013 19:56

Am in NI - I would say Ash lean. Just double checked and so would husband. I went to school with a few.

SummerRainIsADistantMemory · 22/04/2013 16:23

Ash-ling.... The second syllable is very soft though

Thats the correct Irish pronounciation

mrspaddy · 22/04/2013 16:21

I pronounce it Ash - Ling. It is a popular Irish name. Know a lot of Aisling's.

NotAQueef · 22/04/2013 16:21

You better know yourself little girl tskssssk

NotAQueef · 22/04/2013 16:20

chimchar me toooo!

NotAQueef · 22/04/2013 16:20

but not such a pronounced een
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

ThreeBeeOneGee · 22/04/2013 16:19

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

chimchar · 22/04/2013 16:19

I can only hear the way that they used to refer to the girl who was on big brother all those years ago....." Ashaleeeeeeeeeeeeeen"!

Sorry.

wannabedomesticgoddess · 22/04/2013 16:18

Ashleen.

Doodledumdums · 22/04/2013 16:18

I'd say Ash-ling :-)

NotAQueef · 22/04/2013 16:18

Ash-leen

showtunesgirl · 22/04/2013 16:18

It's Ashling. It means: vision.
