I'm really not sure about this one.... i just saw it and was kinda thinking about Ashley on a boy and i kinda liked it. I know in britan its more commonly a boy name( i tihnk? ) and in the Americas its more a girl name. I think i would use it as a Middle na though.

what do you think of...
Joel Ashley ( i like this one)
Tristan Ashley
Austin Ashley
Jaaden or Jayden Ashley( i really like this one but doubt i would ever use Jayden.)

Thanks a load!!!!!

I've know male Ashley's in both the UK and Aus.

I prefer Joel Ashley of those above. Tristan Ashley is a bit of a mouthful to me and I don't care for Tristan anyway LOL so I am probably biased.

I can go with it either way...

Tristan Ashley is particularly nice. Yes, Ashley was originally a male name; just think Ashley from Gone With the Wind. I love that book...

Love Ashley on a boy

One of my top names. I once considered Ashley Joel, but decided I liked Jacob better.

I kind of like Austin Ashley. Ashley Tristan seems like it would flow a little better, as would Ashley Jayden.

I like Ashley Tristan and Ashley Jayden aswell, but there are like 20 girl ashleys i know because i live in canada, so if i name a boy this i tihnk alot of people would find it weird so if i use it as a middle name its kinda more under the radar but still getting to be used lol.

I think it's fine, in England it's still common for boys and there's always Ashley Wilkes from "Gone with the Wind". Joel Ashley is nice.

Not a fan of Ashley for a boy tbh.

Love it for a boy.

I generally don't like those unisex names, but Ashley is all male to me, and very attractive. I love the nn Ash for a guy. It appeals to me much more than Asher (which I used to quite like).

I live in Britain & it's definatley a boys name. I only know 3 girl Ashley/Ashleighs and countless boy Ashleys.
Tristan Ashley is really nice :)

I like Ashley a lot on a boy - I know more boy Ashleys than girls, and have good associations with the name. I like Tristan Ashley most out of your combos.

I love it on a boy. My cousin's name is Anthony Ashley.

Joel Ashley is my fave

I personally wouldn't use it- the girl association is just far to heavy- but I'd be willing to bet the majority of posters will disagree with me and simply adore it on a male.

That said, Austin Ashley flows very well in my opinion.
