I like it.I read some of the other responses and it looks like not very many people do.Maybe you'd like Ansley? It's similar in pronunciation, but sounds like ANN, rather than AYN. I have a friend with that name and she really likes it...so do I!

I really enjoy Ainsley / Ainslie as it has a modern feel, but an older history (my Grandmother had a friend Ainslie who would be close to 100 if she were alive).Ainsley Paulina has a good flow and while I don't love Paulina, it's very nice in a middle name spot especially if it honours someone.

I have a women's studies class with a very old woman whose 'art name' is Ainsley Skye Waters, her real name is Susan (she explained this to us one day). She seems like quite a nut. Ainsley is soo cute for a little girl but Paulina reminds me of a big fat aunt I have.

I don't like it at all. It is very trendy (being a surname) and quite masculine.

Ainsley is the name of a character from Margaret Atwood's "The Edible Woman." It's all right, but too surname-y for my taste.

I used to really love it, now I think it's just okay. I find it a bit too trendy sounding what with it being kind of surnamey and ending in -ley. However Ainsley Paulina is a gorgeous combo. Paula Ainsley is nice too. Ainsley might grow on me when its paired taht way.
