Yes, it is quite common here in the U.S! Although I myself prefer it on a boy (no offense to you, you sound very nice), it is most often used for girls. I know five girls named Ashley.

The only Ashlee I've ever heard of is Ashlee Simpson (the singer), but I'm sure it isn't an uncommon spelling.

LOL, my mom did the same thing *sigh*. She spelled my middle name McKenzie, just because she felt like she was being "origional". Mackenzie is bad enough, thanks. Lol.

Hope I helped,

LOL, thanks Lulu. I try to be nice lol :)

Yeah I knew Ashlee Simpson was spelt the same way lol. But I didn't know if it was a common spelling or not. Don't you wish mum's would just stick to regular spellings sometimes lol. The way my name is spelt has caused me lots of hassle.

I knew it was more common as a girls name here, but doesn't anyone know any boys called Ashley lol? .... Feeling nervous...

I've met two guys named Ashley (with that spelling), and, actually, I only know a few girls with the name. I wish it was used more on guys--I actually like the name Ashley on a guy, but not on a girl.

I don't think I've ever met anyone named Ashlee before.

I *Have* met one guy named Ashley. I didn't know him well, just met him. Other than that, no it is not at all a common guy name in the U.S, especially with your spelling. But who knows, maybe you'll start some crazy trend, and Ashlee will overtake Jacob in the most popular boy's position.. :)

Oh jeez, I bet yours caused you a hundred times more hassle than my mn. Sorry for the greif of mama kree8ivyty, lol!

Probably lol. She almost spelled my name Ash-Lee at first, but then decided to be more "conformist" LOL and went with Ashlee.

Ashley as I said is more a boys name in England although my spelling isn't. So it did cause some confusion with people unsure how to spell it and in some cases not sure what sex I was etc LOL.

My mn is less common (in England anyway) and equally vague so this didn't always help.

I love my mum and she's raised me on her own and done a lot for me. But I do wish she had just not had that urge to be so creative lol.

Oh.

Now I know you are a male, reading other posts. I suppose you can just ignore the 'no offense' comment!
