I'm neutral on it. It seems like a name that would grow on me, especially if the little was exceptionally adorable

"Meh." People would probably constantly think she's saying Ashley, and that would be annoying.

It makes me think of Shay Shull's (the blogger at Mix and Match Family) soon to be adopted daughter.
I voted meh about it - it's just not my taste.

@Rainbow Sprinkles: Doh - I was thinking Haight Ashbury. Preggers brain. My bad. Ashby is a BART station.

Reminds me of Californication. Great character, but not who I'd want to name a daughter after.

I voted I like it but...
Here's my reasons:
I like it because it is spelled the way it sounds, and has no decorative only letters.
I dislike it because it will always sound like she has a lisp when people ask her name, even in adulthood.

Huh. I'm surprised by the negative reactions! I went to hs with a girl named Ashby and it always seemed like a perfectly lovely name to me.

I knew a girl Ashby who was a total flake...not a fab. Reminds me of Mix Match Mama too.

I don't like it because it just sounds like you're mispronouncing Ashley.

@CatchAFallingStar: That is my cousin's name! She's 17.
I am not considering this name for our own future child, I just thought I would do an HB poll since I just stumbled across it and I don't think I have met anyone with the name!
