[Opinions] Re: Ashley for a boy?
in reply to a message by awwsasharox
Oh, boy...
Let me start by saying that I love, LOVE that name for a boy. If I could, I would name my first, second and third sons Ashley- not literally of course. But today this name is unuseable for boys, for no other reason than that every kid ages five and up will say "But thats a GIRLS name, and you're a BOY." In the States, at least. I don't know if this can be used in other countries.
In the meantime I am eagerly awaiting for the tides to turn.
If you're going to use it, you are braver than I am. It is lovely, but one must "think of the children."
