HelpRe: Aisling
in reply to a message by Lily8
Interesting. I thought the pronunciation was more phonetic, like A-sling. I like ASH-lyn a little better, but still see it as nothing more than an off-shoot of the uber-popular Ashley. Ashlyn and Ashlynn as less likely to be mispronounced, but seem even more like Ashley.
Overall, I do think all four, Aisling, Aislinn, Ashlyn, and Ashlynn, have serious trend potential.

Funny, I thought it would be pronounced with the "ay" sound at the beginning too, not "ash," but I was wrong. I checked another site to see more about the name and it's pronunciation, and I got this:
The girl's name Aisling \a(i)-sli-ng, ais-ling\ is pronounced ASH-ling. It is of Irish and Gaelic origin, and its meaning is "dream, vision". Not in use as a given name during the Middle Ages, but was adopted as part of the Irish revival in the 20th century. Ashling is the Anglicized form.
Aisling has 6 variant forms: Aislinn, Aislyn, Aislynn, Ashling, Ashlynn and Isleen.
Baby names that sound like Aisling are Alenka, Julinka and Yulinka.

Personally, I still like the "ling" spelling best. I can't help but wonder how the other site came up with those last 3 names as sounding similar to Aisling...
