I think Ashleigh looks quite ridiculous. I don't like Ashley, but Ashleigh is significantly worse.

I don't really like it. I just find it kind of bland. Ashley (for a boy) is definitely better.

Leigh is a better nickname in my opinion; Ash seems a little masculine.

Ashleigh looks over-elaborate and messy, like a Christmas tree with every available decoration plus a few strings of blingy beads.

I don't mind Ashley, though it is dated. It retains some elegance, which Asheleigh lacks. I'd like to see Ashley Susannah or Ashley Suzette, depending on the ln.

I like Leigh as a girl name, at least partly because I was at school with a wonderful Leigh! For a boy I suppose I prefer Lee without actually liking it, in spite of my excellent nephew.

I usually assume the spelling is Ashley, but Ashleigh is fine. For a girl's fn, I like the spelling Leigh better than Lee, so maybe that has something to do with it. I've never heard of an Ashley with a nn, but plenty are called Ash when trying to get their attention.

The spelling is just silly and unnecessary. Ashley is unisex.

I honestly think Ashleigh is a dumb way to spell it. It doesn't make it look more feminine to me, it just looks gimmicky and childish. Ashley is unisex anyway. I don't think it needs a nickname, but Ash seems natural enough.
