Ashby, for a girl?
Yay or nay?
-
I like it!
-
Yay. Strong hippie/weed association for me though.
-
@Corduroy: what's the weed association?
-
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.
-
Meh.
Knew a boy growing up with that name.
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: Doh - I was thinking Haight Ashbury. Preggers brain. My bad. Ashby is a BART station.
-
Meh!
-
Lots of streets named "Ashby" around here so meh...
-
I don't care for it!
-
@lawbee11: Agreed.
Also kinda sounds like an English butler. I'm meh on it.
-
Like it!
-
Sounds made up....
-
Reminds me of Californication. Great character, but not who I'd want to name a daughter after.
-
Meh!
-
Meh
-
Meh.
-
Not a fan.
-
I don't like it
-
I put meh. Not my favorite but not the worst.
-
Not a fan. I maybe like Ashton?
-
Is it made up or does it really have a history?
-
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
-
I grew up with a boy Ashby so it has strong male associations to me.
-
I don't like it because it just sounds like you're mispronouncing Ashley.
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: I love it!
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: have you considered Ainsley? Similar.
-
@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!
