My name is Ainsley and I was named after Ainsley Gotto, (both Australian). Ainsley Gotto recently passed away (March 2018). I was born in the late 1970s and as I grew up, I couldn't be but intrigued by my namesake.
Widely described as a trailblazer for women in politics and business, Ainsley Gotto was intelligent, hardworking and an astute business woman in her own right. At just 21 years of age, Ainsley Gotto was appointed the personal private secretary to Australia's then Prime Minister John Gorton (this is in effect the same as being appointed Chief of Staff). She was known to have a savage wit and disdain for political correctness. She was also very beautiful. She stayed classy until the end, ignoring the incessant rumour-mongers.
I have loved having an uncommon name and I really think that Ainsley Gotto was someone whose characteristics I admired and wanted to wear for myself!
I get called Ains most commonly which is okay with me. I also find my name difficult to pronounce myself. My maternal grandparents were Greek and couldn't pronounce it at all, instead calling me Angelia. That was okay with me too.

It was at a Frank Zappa concert when I first heard Aynsley, both the name and the drummer. I urge the web masters to add Aynsley Dunbar to the Namesakes sub-menu. I'm surprised nobody has yet mentioned him here. I'm thrilled to be the first.
His accomplishments span decadees with a long list of music luminaries in performance and recording. He well deserves his induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2017, as a member of the band Journey.

Do writers know that they are almost always responsible for names becoming popular? Novels,films, TV shows, songs, it's always the writers. Only then do celebrities pick these names, making them even more famous. Examples: "Taylor" from author Taylor Caldwell; "Tracy" from the Katharine Hepburn character in the movie The Philadelphia Story; "Linda" from the 1942 song written about baby Linda Eastman (later McCartney); "Lori" (instead of Laurie) from the character Lori Ann March in the 1960 soap opera The Secret Storm; "Madison" from the Darryl Hannah mermaid in the movie Splash. Even way back when: "Thelma" from the novel of the same name by Mary Corelli in 1887. The list goes on and on.
