Ashley is common on a boy in Australia
I think overall it would be more common as a boys name than a girls. Every Ashley that is a girl that I know spells it Ashleigh (a very common name in my age group).
Tayliah would be an alternate spelling of Talia / Tahlia (another very popular name here). Taylah has become basically the Australian way to spell Taylor for a girl, so it could be a combo of Talia and Taylah
Tarnee is a pretty common girls name in Australia. I know about six and there are characters on Australian television shows called Tarnee regularly.

In Australia Ashley is pretty common for a boy's name, I know (or have known) a few Ashleys (and other spellings) and most of them have been boys. My cousin's name is Ashley Alan. I don't mind Ashley for a girl (as long as she has a really feminine middle name) but prefer it for a boy a bit more. ;)

Ashley IS also a boys name. Danni on a girl is usually a nn for Danielle (etc.)

Hate to break it too you, but Ashley IS a boys' name, so you can cool it with the exclamation points.

If you check Emma's profile, you will see that she just barely turned 18. And since she has never heard of Ashley on a boy, she probably lives in the USA (just maybe possibly Canada).
Ashley has been more common for girls than boys in the USA at least since 1964. It was fantastically popular during the 1980s and 1990s. The SSA list has it as the #1 girls' name in the USA during 1991 and 1992, and if alternative spellings were added in its reign as #1 would be much longer than that. Already 20 years ago when I first came to Nebraska, a lot of my then-18-year-old freshperson college students here couldn't conceive of there being such a thing as a boy named Ashley. It may be amazing to old movie buffs and fans of Southern USA history, but today the majority of young Americans have never seen the film Gone With the Wind or read the book, and so don't know that Ashley Wilkes was a chief male character in that story. The only Ashleys therefore that many of them have heard of are all the young women they personally know with that name. And most young people always tend to be shocked when they first find out that a name that they have only known as being commonly used for one gender was actually originally used for the opposite one. :)
