lot of ppl bringing up the name Ashley
in reply to a message by Holly
a lot of ppl are bringing up the name Ashley
which is ironic, because that is my name
personally I don't have a big problem with Ashley, Ashlee, and Ashleigh, but Ahshli... thats getting a little wierd
I wish my parents named me Ashlea (pronounced Ahsh-lay instead of the usual ahsh-lee) because this is the gaelic form of the name, and my backround is mostly gaelic. Althought it would of been pronounced and spelt wrong a lot, I wouldnt have minded.. most people spell my name wrong anyways, I got Ashle and Ashly the most.
And the only Ashlea i know, has people call her Ashley, except for her gaelic grandparents which can't really help it because of their accent. It really depends situation wise, but I have 9 ashley's in my grade alone, that is counting variations in spelling. I have had up to 4 ashley's in my classes, including me. Needless to say y'all know why i have a bizzarre obsession with unique and original names now!!Tootles~S!LVA

I know like six people named Julie/Julia 'sides myself. I even knew a girl named Julia Ann, which is weird 'cause Ann means Grace, which is my middle name! Y :D
