I like it as a masculine name.

Ashley sounds dated to me. I much prefer Emily, or even Brittany.

I've known too many Ashleys to actually have an opinion on the name itself. I simply can't.

I was born in '91. Wanna know how many Ashleys I know?I know more Ashleys than I do Jessicas, Emilys, Tiffanys, Stephanies, Hannahs, Nicoles, Alyssas... the only name that could really complete with Ashley (and all its variants) in my neck of the woods would be Brittany. That's how many.So it's difficult for me to shake the "Oh my gosh, another one?!" association from the name. But even then, I can't get over the "Ash" beginning. Yes, I know, it's a tree, but I can't help thinking of ash trays and barren wastelands.

Ash is an unappealing substance and therefore an awful nn. Ashley of course is all lovely trees in a grassy meadow! In spite of which, I dislike it as a f name and can happily deal with it as a m name; possibly because it doubles as a ln.

I don't like it. It sounds basic and dated in the same way I find Britney and Amber dated. I much prefer Ashlyn.
