I'd say it's considered alright based off of what I've learned, but to be on the safer side, you should give your child a name that doesn't look so choppy in katakana, and is bound to get mispronounced.
Ashley becomes Ashuri for example, which I personally don't like the sound of. But parents usually know what's best for their kids. Most of them pick great names. Japanese parents are not necessarily confined to only using Japanese names. They're gotten pretty creative before, they'll do it again. (Raburi- "Lovely")
