I had never heard of this name until the very early '80s. I was reading a list of popular names and found Ashley, for a girl. I was astounded, because not only had I never heard of it, but here it was, a very popular name. At the time it just sounded strange. Now I've gotten used to it, of course. Still, it has a babyish twinge to it, probably because of the -ee sound at the end.
