I have Aspen nn Penn as a GP for a boy... I don't really like it for a girl.

I think it's really pretty! I don't know any, but I wish I did.

Don't like it as a person's name. I think it should be left on the tree. The 1st syl just gets pronounced too strongly for this to actually be good on a person. Wonder if people who call their kids this give that any thought beforehand.

I've never known an Aspen, but I like it quite a lot. It's a lovely nature name that makes me think of the mountains. I can see why the initial sound might be cause concern for some, but I don't think many people actually think of that when they hear it. I'm surprised that it's rather popular in some regions.

I like it. I think it's one of the more widely acceptable plant/nature names. I remember some girls in 8th grade were talking about how Aspen would be a good name...
I don't think I'd use it for this reason, but I do like it.

I really can't get into this name at all. It just doesn't sound nice to me one bit, especially the "As-" part. I know one girl named Aspen. She's very... unpleasant. She has a sister named Awtum (this spelling...).

I love Aspen but for a boy. It's male sounding to me. Though it is nice for a girl too I just much prefer it on a boy

I think Aspen is pretty. It's no-frills feminine. It has a very cool sound.

I know one and she's about 5 now.

I don't know any. It makes me think of skiing and yuppies even though objectively I think it's pretty.

I actually really like it, which is surprising as it's not really the style I usually like.

I like the soft sound it has and I think it's really short and sweet. I also think Penny could work as a nickname.

The only thing I don't like is the "ass" sound at the beginning which could be problematic.
