My name is Ainsley and I am in my late teens. I didn't like it very much until recently. I think I have grown into it and now I'm glad I don't have a very common name. Although it is getting more popular nowadays people are always intrigued when I tell them my name. Plus people tend to remember my name especially when I was at school as I was the only Ainsley in my year.
This is my name and I love it except I spell it Ainsleigh. Which is very pretty by the way.

My little sister is Aynsley. She says she experiences a lot of trouble with pronunciation (when people see it) or with recognition (when people hear it). It's often mistaken for Ashley, or written as Ansley, never Ainsley (oddly enough).
The Hebrew form of Hannah's field would be של חנה שדה
My granddaughter's name is Aynslee and, even at 5, she tells me that nearly everyone who meets her has a difficult time saying her name. She prefers to think of the name as meaning Anna's meadow or Hannah's meadow. Considering that it was once very rare for women to own any kind of property, she likes to believe that, at one time, a woman named Anna or Hannah owned a meadow. But she told me that there are times that she wishes she had a different name.
