HelpRe: You're in for a very rough ride.
in reply to a message by Ashlee
You aren't going to be beaten up and shoved in lockers because your name is Ashlee. Other students might this it's odd at first, but they won't care. No need to hide anything.

If you're in PA, you're quite fine.
:-) You'll be teased, but that's it. And yep - English people tend to be almost worshipped in the US, it seems. :-)

Might not even be teased
Merely questioned a few times. There are so many unusual variant spellings for everything these days, and so many cross-gender sorts of names, I just don't think it's that big a deal. And I'm the mother of teenagers in culturally conservative Texas. I asked my son what he thought, and his answer was typically teen: "Whatever, dude."
I think you'll be fine, and welcome to the USA!
