[Opinions] Re: Ashley and Ashlee
in reply to a message by lulu
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...Ashlee

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. Ashlee
