I grew up with an Irish name that no one every pronounces and/or spells right. I say if you love the name, go for it. Screw everyone else. [ Reply | More ]

Hi. Not an expert, but based on knowing two people with that name, I think you might have flip-flopped things. In my experience, it is SPELLED Aisling but PRONOUNCED Ashling. I like the name, but you are definitely in for a few perplexed looks... [ Reply | More ]

This. And this is exactly why people should not try to use names from other cultures if they haven't grown up with them. [ Reply | More ]

The thing about names is that once you have, it's yours. Other people just need to learn how to deal with it and take a second to learn something not within their realm. Name your baby what you want. It'll be a perfect fit. [ Reply | More ]
