Aisling

Aisling is a manageable name for either gender -- Irish names are great on everyone! The "dream" meaning is a lot to live up to as long as you have a purpose, which is why I think it is so important to know your place in the universe.

It sounds pretty! But similar to Ashlyn, and I prefer the spelling and sound of Ashlyn.

Beautiful. I prefer Aisling than Ashley on a girl.

This name is truly beautiful. I can see the appeal.

It's too delicate for me.

Beautiful.

Beautiful name with a beautiful meaning. I personally wouldn't use it, though. Might be a bit hard to pronounce for some.

I love this name. It’s got a beautiful meaning and a beautiful sound. Not to mention one of my favorite book characters’ name!

Really precious meaning and precious sound. Yeah, there would be pronunciation issues in English speaking countries, but I've known people with far more complicated names, and while it was annoying to correct all the time, people eventually get used to it. This name is relatively simple, and it shouldn't be hard to people to adjust to, especially given how big the Irish diaspora is. Though the anglicization Ashling is always there in case you're hesitant.

This is one of my most favourite names, and is the name of our youngest daughter. Sadly, she has found it hard to cope with in Australia, and mostly calls herself Ash. People have butchered her name horribly, one person even calling her Arse-ling (it was a teacher, and yes, she thought that it was pronounced that way!). Despite my daughter's negativity about her name, I still love it. It is unique, sweet, soft and beautiful. It also looks appealing. (PS: We pronounce it ASH-ling).

Aisling is a nice name and suits me fully. I guess people grow to suit the meaning of their name, as I'm a dreamer.

This name just SOUNDS so dreamy and floaty, I love it. As far as pronunciation goes, I prefer ASH-ling or ASH-leen; I don't particularly like ASH-linn.

My name is spelled Ashlyn because my mother was afraid that if she spelled it the traditional way then people would call me "Aysling", but little did she know, that is now my dad's favourite nickname for me!

My name is Aisling and I live in the UK... The name is pronounced ash-LING.
Personally, I think this name is a strong, solid name for a girl, and a great choice! :-) A very professional name!

I love the way this name sounds and its meaning. I called my cat this without knowing it was a real name because I liked the sound!
I would name my daughter Aisling, even though it's what I call my cat...

I happen to really like this name, though I hate the "Ashlyn" pronunciation. I prefer to say it "EYE-el-ing", though I think "ASH-leen" and "ASH-ling" are okay too. I just might consider it as a middle name.

When I first saw this name (with no prior knowledge of it's origin or the like) I though it was pronounced "isle-ling" which I thought was very pretty. I later found out "Ais" makes an "ash" sound, I was slightly disappointed (as a purist, I always prefer the traditional pronunciation and never some weird spin-off, which I think can come across as very ignorant) but I was already hooked on the name and its meaning AND its origin, so I'm heavily considering it for my future daughter. It is a very lovely name.

I find all Irish names to be hideous, unpronounceable and stupid on Americans, this one included. But it isn't as bad.

It's a very beautiful name! I have a character in a story I'm writing called this. But it's pronounced Ashlin or Ashleen, not Ashling. It is rare to pronounce the "g" in this name.

This is such a beautiful name. I love that it means "dream." I would definitely name my daughter this.

Gorgeous name. I like the sound of the G on the end.

I really like this name. This is my niece's name. We pronounce it "ASH-lin" and not "ASH-ling".
