Ashley or Lindsay (more)
Yes, I know, they're both dated but I have a soft spot for them and I think as middle names they'd be kind of unusual (and not the typical Rose, Grace and Marie). If you had to choose: Ashley or Lindsay and why? You're not allowed to change spellings as these are the only spelling I'd consider.What do you think of the combo Meadow Lindsay? Willow Ashley?

I prefer Lindsay. I've met so many female Ashleys. I don't think it even sounds all that feminine. I don't mind it as a male name, but for a girl, I'm tired of it. Growing up, there were usually at least two Ashleys in each of my classes.Meadow Lindsay works. I like Willow. Willow Ashley has a decent flow.

I'd pick Ashley over Lindsay. Ashley was more popular than Lindsay was, but it's also prettier than Lindsay. Meadow Lindsay sounds fine, but I don't like Willow Ashley simply because I don't like Willow.

Lindsay. I dunno, it just sounds more real. Ashley sounds more fluffy and bimboish to me. Lindsay is to Ashley as Shannon is to Kimberly. IMO.Meadow is better than Willow. Meadow Lindsay is ... meh.
Willow Ashley has too many trees in it IMO. Also, it has a "waash" sound in it.

I definately prefer Lindsay. I think as middle names either one would be considered different. I don't think either one sounds that great with the names you have picked out however.

For a girl, I prefer Lindsay. Ashley is still a boys name to me. It would be nice to see them used as a middle name.Meadow Lindsay is alright, but I would never use Meadow as a name - it's just too hippy for me.

Ashley, hands down. If we had another daughter today, or yesterday, or tomorrow, Ashley would be her name.I don't like Meadow or Willow at all. Even Ashley can't save them.I also never liked Lindsay, it always sounded congested and snotty.

I like Ashley better as a middle name! I'm actually surprised by how much I like it as a mn as opposed to a fn. I like Willow Ashley, and Ashley grounds the nature-esque name.

I'd pick Lindsay, simply because it has a prettier sound. I dislike both, and I dislike both Meadow and Willow, so it's hard for me to answer. Meadow Lindsay has a better flow, I guess.

You know, you're right that they are dated and would be unusual today. I say go for it!
I'd choose Lindsay, because I know and love one. Plus I happened to grow up with three Ashleys, neither of which I really liked. But both names have the same vibe otherwise.Meadow Lindsay is very nice. Willow Ashley is okay, but I don't like the Willow-Ash thing together, it's too tree-y. :)
