[Opinions] Ashlyn/Ashlynn
Opinions?
Replies
I actually kind of like it. I have no idea why, but Ashlyn sounds like the name of a princess in a kids’ fantasy novel to me.
It's listed as feminine, but it sounds and seems very masculine to me.
I vastly prefer Aisling.
I'd never personally use it but I do think it's pretty!
I mean Ashlyn is basically an anglicized Aisling / Aislin / Aislinn.
I don't mind it. I do prefer Ashley, but Ashlynn is cute too. A bit more on-trend, I guess.
I think Aisling/Aislin is a nicer version of this name that doesn't sound made up/too trendy
It used to be my very favourite name (along with Ashley) when I was about 7, and I still like the sound of it, though not so much the spelling.
Ashlyn(n) is destined to be very date-stamped, since it's a mashup of trendy elements. In fact, I think it's already starting to become dated; its usage peaked about a decade ago. It doesn't have an unpleasant sound, but personally I'd prefer to use a name with more history behind it.
