I am not sure I can tell the difference between the first two options. Maybe I missed it in the comments but what is "correct?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2218396 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 13:01:53 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2218396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH really liked the name Aisling for a girl but I worried that no one would be able to pronounce it and he didn't like any of the alternate spellings I suggested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2218334 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 12:36:12 +0000 Pancakes 2218334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: I know the correct Irish pronunciation, but just looking at it I always want to say Ace-lynn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2218325 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 12:28:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 2218325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew an Aislinn growing up and she said it like AZE-lynn so that's how I've always thought it was. I liked it. </p> <p>Had no idea it's really supposed Ash-ling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2218224 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 11:36:49 +0000 Meowkers 2218224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>honestly i looked at it and thought "how the heck do i pronounce that?" My first inclination was "ass-lin" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2218119 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 10:35:02 +0000 hellobeeboston 2218119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ashling</p> <p>But only because I knew someone growing up named aisling, and she said it that way so that's what I would think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2218106 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 10:21:24 +0000 .twist. 2218106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ays-lin. </p> <p>I've seen it spelt multiple ways and I think it's a very pretty name. I like the above pronunciation and the Irish pronunciation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2218104 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 10:19:50 +0000 anbanan15 2218104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@WinterBee: was it Alz-lihn? That's another way (Scottish) I forgot to put on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2218087 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 10:07:09 +0000 anbanan15 2218087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: My first name, although pretty common these days, gets mispronounced all the time too. I don't care! I just let people call me whatever they want. </p> <p>@Mrs.Someone: This made me laugh! I got that with my name sometimes from kids growing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2218019 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 09:30:22 +0000 MrsSCB 2218019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: Oh yeah, especially for a middle name, I wouldn't worry about it. My first name (also Irish, haha) is mispronounced pretty often. But I don't even mind that, so for a middle name I wouldn't think twice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2218005 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 09:21:23 +0000 babynumber1 2218005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Me too.

So I'm assuming it's wrong! haha. I would say Ays-ling, with Ays-lin being a close second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2217981 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 08:59:30 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2217981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry, but I read it as Ass-lin :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2217976 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 08:56:45 +0000 wonderstruck 2217976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would want to say Ayes-lin, but would mentally correct myself and say Ash-lin, since I met an Aisling a few years ago and learned the right way to pronounce it. But yeah, since there's no G on this name I'm not really getting why some would say Ash-ling? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2217964 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 08:53:26 +0000 catlady 2217964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say "Ash-lin" if I saw it spelled like that (I've always seen it spelled Aisling though, which I would pronounce "Ash-ling"). There are lots of people of Irish decent around here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2217950 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 08:48:00 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2217950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ACE-lynn </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2217943 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 08:44:52 +0000 LibbyLou 2217943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I said it like "aisle" in my head but I had to study it to come to that conclusion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2217935 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 08:39:46 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2217935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look at it and see "ACE-lin" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2217931 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 08:38:19 +0000 anbanan15 2217931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: those tricky Irish names! </p> <p>I'm not too worried about the pronunciation being too difficult with it being used as a middle name. The first name(s) we are considering for a girl are easily pronounced so I think that also helps. </p> <p>DS has a pretty common name and DD has a very Japanese first name (but I think her name is easy to pronounce). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2217926 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 08:33:33 +0000 autumnlove 2217926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>prob As-lynn </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2217915 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 08:29:52 +0000 MrsSCB 2217915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know the Irish way, but that's because I've read how it's pronounced elsewhere. If I was just looking at the name with no context, I'd probably get it wrong. I love a lot of traditional Irish names (like Saoirse) but the pronunciation would be a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2217912 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 08:28:32 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 2217912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know that in Ireland it's pronounced Ashling, but I tend to drop the g at the end and say Ashlin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2217910 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 08:26:35 +0000 Greentea 2217910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, Ash-ling, I actually remember now from a movie, "Secret of the Kells." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2217908 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 08:24:42 +0000 CakeLady 2217908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I've seen il the name before and I know it has an unusual pronounciation, but I don't remember what it is. I'd probably go with the first option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2217891 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 08:17:34 +0000 tequiero21 2217891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked ice-Lynn, but I would really pronounce it eyes-Lynn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2217889 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 08:15:52 +0000 anbanan15 2217889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: The person I know pronounces it like you are saying Eyeslynn, so that is how I thought it was pronunciation until I looked it up (I forgot how she spelled it, so I thought this was the wrong name at first. She does spell it Aislinn). I like it with both the correct Irish pronunciation and the way this women says it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2217868 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 08:04:52 +0000 Truth Bombs 2217868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ash-Ling but only because I have a friend who is Irish (as in legitimately from Ireland) and her name is spelled similarly and that's how she pronounces it. With not background I would have no clue how to pronounce this name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-say#post-2217862 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 08:01:56 +0000 mediagirl 2217862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would look at it and have no clue. I guess Ace-lynn </p>
