opinion on this baby name (girl)

[kaeyede]

me and my partner are thinking of naming our baby Æli, prounounced ashley (from the ash tree), but of course the 'ae' will get confused for being said as 'ai'.

you could also say that the 'ai' could work as a decent translation from japanese since ai means love.

it's a bit unique, and different so we were hoping for advice on the name, would it be too different or does it sound cute ??

How will people type it?
Also I know the letter is called Ash but I don't think it's pronounced that way isn't it an eh sound as in Æthelfled.
Which would sound like Ethelfled?

She will get called ‘ Aeli’ and are the first two letters of her name common for use in electronic and paper forms you will need to fill in throughout her life? Is it even allowed at registration?

but ‘ash’ is the name of the letter/diagraph, not how it’s pronounced.

its not ‘different’ and ‘unique’- it’s nonsensical

So... Ashley?

If you like the sound of the name Ashley, just call her Ashley? It will save a lot of time in the long run.

No one will pronounce that as Ashley - ever. Unless you tell them how to say it. That sound is more like Ellie, I would have thought. I also don’t think it’s great to aim for cute when naming a person -just my opinion on that.

Bloody awful

You would be setting your child up for a lifetime of difficulty. Well, until they changed the spelling to something sensible.

What's more important to you: the name Ashley, or the weird spelling?

Hello Elon. Bored on the moon?

The letter/symbol is called ´ash’ but usually pronounced like the ´a’ in ´cat’.
Just call her Ashley

Of course you can’t call your kid that! Put it down to pregnancy hormones and look back on this and laugh after giving your child a normal name. They will hate you if you do this to them.

I prefer €3Là
That's Areola

would it be too different or does it sound cute ??

The spelling is stupid, sorry, but it is.

Does it sound cute? Well, you said that you'd pronounce it as Ashley, so no, not that cute. Although Ashley is a nice enough name.

You've clearly never worked in a call centre. Anyone with special characters is a total ball ache, for us and them.

Look forward to no one being about to find your records, for anything.

The letter æ is used in the Nordic languages with varying pronunciation, but none of them are "ash".
Just call her Ashley if you like the name, stop trying to be weird.

Are you even allowed to register someone with that character? I reckon you should change your name to æli if you like it so much.

Æ will be rendered as Ae on certain official documents such as passports in order to make them machine-readable. Neither Æli nor Aeli would typically be pronounced "Ashley" though, so you'll frequently be "correcting" people - a bit like Ma (Emma) or Lsn (Alison).

Really not a fan OP. Keep in mind that you’re also naming a 20/40/60 year old so don’t focus too much on ‘cute’.

Many congratulations on your new arrival.

Why would you burden your child like this?

No. Just no.

Wtf

Are you Japanese

Grimes, is that you?

Call her Æßlī to make it extra unique.

Don’t give her ideas!!
