What are your thoughts on Aspen? If you know any are they male or female?

Very American.

Nope. Ass as a nickname. Jesus Christ, no.

Probably not as a name, but brought back memories to an oldie Smile

A friend named her daughter Aspen. She's nearly 3

I think it could be a boy or girl. But it sounds so lispy and wet. And potentially would be shortened to arse/ass by other children

It sounds like a female character in a teenage US Netflix show - which may be the vibe you're going for. I don't like it, sorry.

Love it for skiing.

Not as a human's name.

Maybe for a husky dog?

I think the snow is better in Whistler

Pretty tree with quivering leaves and striking autumn colour.

I think it's lovely for a girl. I do really like American names, I also like Peyton, Kendall and Camden.

Isn't one of the younger of Dawn Ward's (the main mouthy one from Real Housewives of Cheshire) children called Aspen?

Enough reason to avoid...

Camden as in town or lock ?
Kendall as in mint cake ?

Give me strength

@KillerFlamingo

I'm sure the "first British Gay Dads" couple many years ago named their twins Saffron and Aspen, only time I recall hearing it as a name but it's ok.
That was my first thought.

@RosesAndHellebores

It's a ski resort in Colorado. Very reliable snow.

No, just no as a name.

No. Aspen's dad has gone off with her boyfriend.
