Haha. Well, I can't say which I like better, because I dislike them both about the same.
Each one can be used to make the other seem better...
I don't like Addison because of Addison's Disease and it's just ugly. But it does get to be Addie.
I don't like the sound of Ainsley, it's also super ugly. But it's more first-namey and not as much of a riff on a dated name, and isn't associated with endocrine disease.
I dunno... If I knew the person, I'd honestly rather address her as Addison, it's more comfortable to say.
But I'd rather be an Ainsley than an Addison.
Flip a coin.

Addison. The AIN- sound is terrible imo.

I actually really like Addison on a girl. I think Addie is a cute nickname. I think I have a positive impression of it because of Private Practice, lol, but I like the sound of it too. I've never liked Ainsley; it has a thin, whiny sound to me.

Ainsley

Ainsley for sure! I like it very much.

I think Ainsley is painfully ugly so I’d go with Addison.

Ainsley. I have a cousin called this, with a different spelling. It's not a favourite but it's light-years better than Addison, which is just abominable & sounds to me like someone saying Alison with a bad cold.

Definitely Addison. Ainsley has that annoying trendy sound imo, whereas Addison is cute but can also actually be taken seriously. And the nn Addy is a plus.

Ainsley. Addison is much more common and I love the sound of Ainsley for a girl, though I can't really see it on a boy. Addison seems like one of those trendy names that will eventually be a old aunt name.

I hate both. Will go with Addison so I can call her Addy and pretend the -son isn't happening. Her dad can call her Addison as long as I don't have to.

Ainsley. There is absolutely no contest here. Addison just bugs me for some reason.

I was hoping that they were for boys :(

I love Ainsley and Addison for boys.. I could tolerate Ainsley on a girl.. Addison on a girl is awful.

I am bowled over by her good taste and originality.

I really dislike them both. If I had to choose one I’d go with Ainsley because Addison means “son of Adam,” which seems out of place on a girl.
