HelpRe: Ashley
in reply to a message by Lily
I've known quite a few girls named Ashley, but it's never seemed too, too popular to me. At least, its popularity (in my area) doesn't make me pull out my hair in frustration yet. Emily and Sarah do that to me, lol.
Most girls I knew spelled it Ashley, but a couple spelled it Ashlee, Ashlie or Ashleigh. Actually, my neighbour just had a baby recently and named her Ashley! She likes "dated" names though. Her other daughter is named Allison. And I know TONS of girls named Jessica, young and old. That's a name that makes me pull my hair out.
I have a soft spot for Ashley (for a girl), and I love Ashley for a boy too. It just seems so handsome.
Best: Ashley. Worst: Ainsley. But Ainsley isn't terrible or anything. I'm just not a huge fan of the "Ain-" sound.
Lindsay for a boy is fairly common where I live for some reason. When combined with Lindsay for a girl, Lindsay beats Ashley (both names are very common though). Most people seem to spell it Lynsey though. Something I will never understand.
Lindsay. It's hard to say. I think it's the -ley ending that puts me off of Ashley a teensy bit. I also like the possible nn of Lynn. I have a soft spot for both names, despite knowing some horrible girls with those names.
Most common: 1) Lindsay/Lindsey/Lynsey/Lyndsee, etc. 2) Ashley 3) Ainsley 4) Hadley.
