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,
