Help[Opinions] Re: Ashley
in reply to a message by Lily
I'm not an Ashley fan, it hasn't made a recovery for me and I don't think it ever will. But I can see how it would be appealing in an 80s frizzy-hair-side-ponytail-with-scrunchy, skinny-jeans-wearing sort of way. Same reason I like some dated names like Stephanie and Stacey.
I don't like it on a boy, either. It sounds snobby to me.
Hecks yeah I grew up with a lot of Ashleys. Maybe not quite as many as people a few years younger than me, but they ran rampant. I went to school with one who spelled it Ashlea and one who spelled it Ashleigh (they were ahead of the times I guess). I've never heard of it on anyone under 20. I know a baby Jessica too. Had the same reaction.
Hadley is my favorite of those. It has more character and substance.
Hmm... really hard to say. I'd go with Lindsay/Lindsey being most common, at least for my age group.
Lindsay. It falls in the Stephanie and Stacey group. It has a smiley, appealing dated-ness about it.
Hadley, I guess. I've never met an Ainsley before either, though, but I'd be more surprised to meet a Hadley than an Ainsley.
