    I've always thought of Asha as a girl's name because of Asha Bhosle.

    I'm not a fan of Ashlyn. I can't say why without sounding like a total snob so I'll leave it at that.
    I love Caityn but it does my head in because I keep hearing it mispronounced like Kate-Lynn. It must be so annoying for the parent's of Caitlyns to be constantly having to correct pronounciation.

    I would say Kate-lyn as well how should you say it? I also am not overly keen on lyn names... but then again only a small percentage of people like the names i have chosen for my kids so that's just life... there is no name that everyone likes!

    Also do you pronounce Dylan "Dillon" or Dy-lan"?

    Bath, if you're Irish it pretty much rhymes with Kathleen and the Cait is pronounced more like Cotch (or Koyt).
    I used to to to school with a Caitlyn and she had to tell every new teacher how to pronounce it lol.

    Wow! well you learn something everyday in BB! Thanks for that Bron... interesting. DH is a stickler for correct gaelic pronounciation.... our DD's middle name is Eowyn (with an accent above the o) and we are always helping people pronounce it... which is why we gave it to her as a middle name! Oh and it roughtly sounds like "air wyn" but there's a subtle non-english sounding sound to the "air" bit.

    Oh yeah, everyone always has something to say on your name choices. I especially don't tell my family our choices.

    Anyway, I know of a couple of girls called Ashlyn and I think it is a lovely name. Don't let anyone's opinions sway your choice of name.
