It's Ashling. It means: vision.

Ash-leen

Doodledumdums · 22/04/2013 16:18

I'd say Ash-ling :-)

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. Blush

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

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

NotAQueef · 22/04/2013 16:20

NotAQueef · 22/04/2013 16:21

You better know yourself little girl tskssssk

mrspaddy · 22/04/2013 16:21

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

SummerRainIsADistantMemory · 22/04/2013 16:23

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

Thats the correct Irish pronounciation

lovemybabyboy · 22/04/2013 17:14

Ash-ling

wiltingfast · 22/04/2013 17:59

ItsYoniYappy · 22/04/2013 18:07

Ais-ling

Think Japanese! Confused

mymagaret · 22/04/2013 19:33

Ale - in

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.

thistlelicker · 22/04/2013 19:56

Ash-ling I think

MortifiedAdams · 22/04/2013 20:00

Blush Ash Lane.

Which I now realise is wrong.

Blanketsandpillows · 22/04/2013 20:00

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

DramaInPyjamas · 22/04/2013 20:01

I had always thought it was pronounced the same as Eileen

RiaOverTheRainbow · 22/04/2013 20:14

Ashling, or at least that's how the one I know says it.
