I actually like Ashley, but mostly because of cool associations rather than because I like the name as such very much. It has a nice vibe and all the Ashleys (all female) I've come across have been lovely people, but the name is not my style, I'm not very huge on modern names, don't like most -ley names and not many names that are unisex, and it does feel rather dated. I much prefer Ashlyn/Aisling as far as names with similar sounds go. The only male Ashleys I can think of are Ashley from Gone With the Wind and the English musician Ashley Hutchings so it feels very unusual to me on a man and I'm kind of not sure what to think of it as a male name. It's interesting in a surprising way because it seems a rare occurrence, but it feels sort of odd to see it as a male name.
