Ashley was a male name long before it was female.

Ashley is traditionally a boy's name in the UK. Jessie is a little surprising, but I guess it's probably just an alternate spelling of Jesse that wouldn't be used here.
Still really shocked by Elizabeth and Sarah and Mary, though!

Mary (and forms like Maria, Marie) are often used by Catholics in combos like Mary Joseph, Jean-Marie or Carlos Maria, etc.
