However (m)

Ashley was the name of a male character in Gone With the Wind, which was a story written in the 1930s during the Depression in America, and was made into a movie a couple of years later. So there is male precedence with this name.
If you're not American, you may have not heard of this story, though.

That's not relevant . . .

. . . of course I've heard of Gone With the Wind, but the fact that Ashley was used as a male character's name in that book doesn't change what I said: Ashley is a unisex name which has always been more popular for girls.
