What are your thoughts on Aislinn, pronounced ASH-linn? It is a variant of Aisling.

Do you like Aisling better? I dislike the "sling" part and Aislinn looks authentic too so I prefer it.

Which is your favorite and why? Which is your least favorite?

Ciara (KEE-ra)
Aislinn (ASH-linn)
Ailís (AY-lish)
Eilidh (AY-lee)

Fav: Ailís
I don’t know why, it’s beautiful.

Least fav: Aislinn
I get that it’s Irish, but at first sight, it looks like one of those names that people complicate, trying to sound fancy, like Kristylynn (real person, one aunt was Kristy, the other was Lynn).

Aisling is actually "supposed" too be pronounced like Ashlynn and therefore contains no "sling" sound. I prefer Aisling between the two personally though both are nice in their own way. I actually like Aisling with the "wrong" pronunciation of "aiz-ling" and was upset as a teenager to learn it wasn't how it is usually said haha

I prefer Aisling to be honest. I prefer Ailis, but not by much.

Meh. It's ok.

Favorite: Ciara, pretty
Least: Eilidh, don't like the sound

The rest are either awkward in spelling/pronunciation, or too trendy (Lily)

I like Aislinn the best out of it and Aisling.

Out of the names you listed, I can't decide which is my favorite; I like them all.
