Ashley

---

It used to be my favourite name when I found out an Australian classmate had a sister named Ashley when I was about six or seven. I had never heard of it before and it seemed wonderfully exotic, with a soft, but distinct sound - I really enjoyed saying the "shl" part.

Lindsay

---

The rest are very common here and Lindsay is a family surname.

Hayley

---

I love Hayley, but would spell it Hailey!

I legit LOVE Courtney and Hayley - spelled just like that.

---

I once knew a Hayley who, to this day, is still one of the absolutely most beautiful women I have ever seen.

---

That said, I love Courtney as well and I’ll probably go with it in this case. There’s just something about it that I’ve always found very appealing.

---

I prefer Ashley for a male and I never understood Lindsay.

Lindsay

---

Lindsay is the only one I like of the bunch, but I actually quite like her a lot. Shame about Lohan. :-(

Ashley - My second grade teachers name was Ashley Courtney. I also knew an Ashley who didn’t come out so good in life. The name itself is a 6/10 for me.
Lindsay - I can only think of Lindsay Lohan whenever I hear this name, but I’d give it a 5.5/10.
Courtney - I prefer it as a surname, I can imagine somebody with the name Courtney, but it’s sounds strange as a first name a little bit in my opinion. 4/10.
Hayley - Meh, it’s not the worse I ever heard. But too trendy for my liking. 5/10.

I always saw Lindsay as a male and Lindsey as a female name. I disliked Ashley, Courtney and Hayley, so I would choose Lindsey. It has lasted for a long time, and the other three didn't seem to have much popularity: they lasted for a while and disappeared.

Hayley or Ashley

---

Ashley is a unisex name here, but more common on men. They often go by Ash.

---

I would use Ashley on a boy if I had too. I also quite like Hayley but slightly prefer Hallie.

Ashley for a boy.

Ashley for a boy or...

---

Hayley for a girl.

I don’t mind it. Ashley is also inoffensive. Not a fan of Lindsay (especially this spelling, which makes me want to say lind-SAY!) or Courtney at all.

Haley or Kourtney

---

Well, the only one I really, harshly dislike is Lindsay.

---

I don’t mind Ashley, as it’s my own name. I mean, I don’t know very many people that truly hate their name?

---

I love Haley and Kourtney, both. I would actually have used either on my daughter, happily.
I know Kourtney is not the normal and usually I hate trendy or “misspelled” names, but I cannot like it with a C, for some reason.

Hayley or Lindsay

---

I despise Ashley and Courtney is such a fat girl name IMO

Lindsay - I like how it looks more than the sound but I still find it pretty.

---

Courtney would be a second choice, it reminds me of beautiful courtyards.

---

Ashley and Hayley are just boring for me.

---

I checked Courtney's popularity and was kinda surprised that it peaked in 1989. It feels a generation older than the others to me, probably because I only associate it with Courtney Love and Courteney Cox.

Ashley

---

I don’t mind it that much, and I kind of like the nickname Ash. It’s better than the other ones, in my opinion.

I'd pick Ashley, because it's always been a favorite. The only one I don't like is Lindsey, it's weaselly.

Since we can change spellings, Haley.

---

The others are too old-fashioned.

Hayley. I’ve never actually minded the name at all, not that I’d use it.

Hayley or Ashley

Ashley

---

I would choose Ashley. It seems the most classic to me, and I like the nickname Ash.
