What do you think of Ashlynn as a name?

[AnotherOddSock]

Any thoughts or opinions? I don't know anyone with this name.

Hmm, I've taken on board your comments. It was my DH's suggestion and at first I really liked it. He's set on the name but now I'm having some second thoughts. I like Aisling but I was worried she would struggle to spell it when first learning to write her name. Maybe this won't be an issue. I don't know how to change DH's mind now.

Hmm it seems not many people like Ashlynn. To be honest I've gone off it since DH first suggested it but I feel like we have to go with it now. I would like to call her Aisling but DH doesn't like it.

Not keen, myself. Sound like you've put 2 names together to make a new one eg MaryLou, KerryAnn.

'I've gone off it since DH first suggested it but I feel like we have to go with it now.'

No you don't! Wait until you find a name you both like.

Since it's pronounced very similarly to Aisling which is a better known name, you'll get a lot of people automatically assuming it's spelt Aisling which could be annoying.

Aislinn can be pronounced Ashling or Ashlynn: depends what part of Ireland you're from.
I really really don't like Ashlynn, but that's probably because I'm an Aislinn (pronounced with a g sound).

Find another name.

Honestly, my husband and I didn't agree on a single name until about 2 days before our daughter was born. But it is important that you both like your child's name.

The thought of trying to find names we agree on for future children makes me feel a bit clammy!

I'm Irish, and any Aisling I've ever known has been pronounced Ash-ling

Know an American teen called Aislin shes an absolute horror! Typical Californian brat. Please don't !

I think it is a lovely name. I know two twin girls called Harriet and Ashlynn, both beautiful little ladies and really suit their names

I'm surprised at people pronouncing the G in Aisling, any of the many I've ever known don't. But maybe it is a regional thing. It was a very popular name in my generation (mid-30s now). Lots of Linda and Lynns from that time too, so to me Ashlynn seems very dated for a new baby.

I don't like Ashlynn - both because of the way it looks written down, and also because I think "ash" is such a negative word that I associate with destruction or death or disease. But others might associate it with an ash tree, so what do I know.

I'm not keen

OP you don't have to go with a name you really don't like!

It sounds a bit made up and also a bit trailer park to me.
