Help[Opinions] Re: Ashley for a boy!
in reply to a message by hannah
Ashley isn't originally a boys' name - it's a unisex name drawn from an Old English surname. Except for in 1900-1909 (584th) and in 1940-1959 (884th-810th) Ashley has been vastly more popular for girls than for boys. :-)

Anyway . . . I don't like Ashley at all but I hate it less on a boy than I do on a girl.

However
Ashley was the name of a male character in Gone With the Wind, which was a story written in the 1930s during the Depression in America, and was made into a movie a couple of years later. So there is male precedence with this name.
If you're not American, you may have not heard of this story, though.
