Great names. I like Ashley as a boys name. You could always call him Ash for short. I don't care for Philip but, it sounds ok when you read the full name. Brandon is one of my favorite names and Gregory sounds cute with it.

I like Ashley for a boy, it sounds quietly studious and aristocratic. I imagine an Ashley would have the kind of relatives who hunt game, but he'd be afraid to admit it. Brandon is just some guy who plays rugby.

I really like Ashley Philip. Brandon Gregory isn't bad. I would just expect something a little less common and more classic or vintage to compliment a male Ashley. Brandon is more 90s, which emphasizes Ashley's association as a 90s girl name for me.

Can I suggest Bram as a possible alternative? I saw it on a lesser character in a tv show recently and I found it striking and chic, similar to Graham.

There are lots of great, classic names that I think would go with Ashley and are just as masculine. Don't get me wrong, I like Brandon and I don't want to talk you out of the name if you love it, I just don't think it makes a great twinset personally.

You may also consider Asher instead of Ashley, which goes a little better with Brandon, but I'd much rather see a male Ashley honestly. I don't think it would be accepted very well where I live, but I'd love to see a come-back.

I like Brandon Gregory. I would definitely think Ashley was a girl and wouldn't want to be the twin named Ashley.

I love Ashley for a boy and Ashley Philip has nice flow. I can't say I'm a fan of Brandon Gregory as the names have a really unappealing sound to me.

They sound just fine to me! Ashley has remained pretty masculine here, despite some usage for girls, and Brandon is dated to about the same time. They make sense together.
