It's pretty average, far as 80's-90's names go. I prefer it for girls, (More accustomed to it, although I did have a male relative named this once. An uncle on my mother's side (Born maybe during the 1930's, so well before it became trendy), and although I never met him, I've heard countless stories about him, and how he was referred to by "Uncle Ashy"
I'm partial to the original spelling of
Ashley as well. The others are made-up and seem really phony. Just an overall fail. If I see variants such as
Ashlee, Ashli,
Ashlie or
Ashleigh, I'm gonna assume that the parents tried way too hard to seem unique. And the ironic thing is, it's still gonna be the same popular name (Maybe not so much now), regardless of spelling. All they're doing is creating unnecesary confusion for the person with the name who will have to go through their whole life correcting people.
