One of my best friends is named Ash. They chose it as they are trans so I think of this as a very trans guy name. I don't mean that in a bad way.

The name every 12-year-old chooses for their half-demon anime catboy OC.

Please, please, please, don't name your child Ash, Asher, Ashley, or anything with Ash in it. Your child will 100% be bullied for it. It's a name people constantly used as a stereotypical name for f-boys, frat boys, and emo boys. This comment is from a middle-aged teenager, and I can promise you that everyone I've ever met named Ash has been extremely annoying or gross.

Ash is a very lovely and nice name that belongs to someone who's creativity is both boundless and terrifying.

I'm an emby and I think this name is just right for people that are also non binary. I'm using it at the moment and it is amazing.

My nickname is Ash and some people make fun of me for it so I just go by my real name. I HATE MY NICKNAME!

I'm nonbinary and my name is Ash. My girlfriend helped pick it out so naturally I'm going to love it haha.

I’m non- binary and I’ve been thinking of changing my name to Ash! I think it sounds very androgynous and I love it!

My sister's name is Ash and she gets hated for it but she still continues being a tomboy and take it from me, I LOVE playing in the mud and going on my 4-wheeler, if somebody hates her name then they hate my name too, I'm Arrow and I love my sisters name.

My name is Ash and I’m a girl. People actually tell me I have a cool name pretty often. But I’m also greeted with more Pokémon references than the average person probably receives lol.

My name is Ashley and I am female. Personally, I don't like being called "Ash".

I alternately use Ashe as a more feminine look on my nickname. My birthname is Ashley.

I love this name! It sounds strong, but a little spunky and fun. My husband and I are thinking of naming our son this.

This name doesn't even sound remotely feminine. I do think it could make an interesting male name though, only if it's used as a nickname for Asher or Ashton.

Easy spelling, one syllable (can't be shortened to anything you may not like) and handsome.

Nah, sounds too much like Pokemon for me. I would hate this name.
I have an Indian friend called Ashish who shortens it to this though.

Oh, golly, I'll always love this name! It's handsome and awesome for a guy! :D Ash Ketchum will forever be the first thing I think of whenever I hear this name but I don't mind. :)

I think that this name is really nice for a boy and also for a pet gerbil it would do:)
And that name sure makes my heart sing (especially the theme song of the first pokemon season).

Cute. But it does scream "Pokemon!" (gotta catch 'em all!... sorry). This can also be a nickname for Aisling (when it's pronounced CORRECTLY, a.k.a ASH-ling).

This is pronounced the exact same way to a Norwegian word that means 'ew'. But I love it when I keep it out of my mind.

This name is okay but I only like it for boys. I think it would be good as a nickname for boys named Ashton.

It's cool but all I think of when I hear this name is Ash Ketchum from Pokemon as I used to watch it all the time!

My name is Ashley, I go by Ash by mostly everyone. My friend calls me Ash-hole.

If I heard of someone called this I'd be like 'hey you like Pokemon' without helping it.

I hate this name. It makes me think of that irritating Pokémon character Ash Ketchum.

This isn't a real name.

I'm not against using nouns as names, as many names are nouns in another language, or are derived from nouns in other languages, or even from a noun of the language the bearer speaks, but this sounds a bit weird as a name. Many people will assume it's short for Ashton or Ashley. It doesn't sound very mature on a grown-up. If you're going to use it, I'd say the name is better for a boy than a girl, but I don't really like this as a real name.

Aside from all the associations people have with video games, this is quite a nice name that I think is a bit underused, at least where I live.
I do not think it well-suited to a girl, though I tend to think of Ashley as a masculine name, despite all the times I have seen it used as a girl's name. I think it quite odd how young girls are given boy's names so often.

Too close to ass.

I could never think of the name "Ash" and separate it from the Pokemon character.

When my mom is calling my sister Ashley across the house, a lot of times she calls her Ash. I think this is a pretty cool nickname.

Ok ok ok but real talk I enjoy Ash as a name and definitely most of the permutations of it that I've encountered (e.g. Ashe, Ashley, Ashton, Ashur, etc.)
