:help: Just wanting some opinions on the spelling of our favourite name for our little girl
Ashlyn
Ashlin
Ashalin
Ashelyn
How would you spell it? My instinct is to go with first way of spelling it but this is the different ways people have spelt it to me when I have told them the name.
Also what middle names do you like to go with it? :think:
Yeah I'd go with the first spelling.. but I'm a fan of "y" in a name.. (obviously..lol)
i would go with Ashlyn.. :D:D great name btw
This was Dps fave name all through my pg!
It was on our list as Ashlyn. Nobody can mistake it that way ;)
A friend of mine has an Ashlyn! I like it spelt that way too :)
What a gorgeous name......Im afraid I go against the grain though
Ashlen
I would go with Ashlyn too. I also like the suggestion of Ashlen.
If you used Ashalin (or similar) you might find people place emphasis on the "ah" in the middle. Ashlyn flows much nicer.
Thanks Holley. DP loves it as well. We only know one person called Ashlyn and she is an ex gf of one of our friends. WE think its a nice twist on Ashley even though we love that name too.:
Thanks everyone else for your suggestions. I think we will end up spelling it Ashlyn so there is no mistaking the pronunciation.
Now to find a middle name to go with it....
I think you are right. they might get confused:
I would actually spell it Aisling. :)
I think of the ones you listed the first two are the most straightforward to pronounce
what a beautiful name
yes definately Ashlyn- would be how i would spell it- it looks right to me!
a short middle name would be nice such as Eve, Jane, - something with one syllabal.
But it also depend on how long or short your last name is- a how creative or popular or traditional you want the middle name to be!
great choice!

For middle names I would suggest:
Ashlyn Grace
Ashlyn Rose
Ashlyn May
Ashlyn Eve
Just to be different, I like Ashlin ;) Only because I have a preference to I's over y's!
But Ashlyn would be my second choice.
As far as middle names, Ashlin Kate popped into my head.
i like ashlin
i love ashlyn!!!! beautiful name hun!!!!
ETA: middle names - kate, rose.. mm i will have a look for some!
i like Ashlyn...
I like Ashlyn or Ashlynne
First middle name that came to mind was Ashlyn Rose
I like it spelt Ashlyn too, no confusion then as to how to pronounce it...
some suggestions for middle names:
Ashlyn Jayde
Ashlyn Taylah
Ashlyn Rayne
Ashlyn Elise
Ashlyn Leah
Ashlyn Zoe
Ashlyn Eve
Ashlyn Mia
Ashlyn Paige
Ashlyn Jade
Ashlyn Kate
Hmm Im not very good at this. I had a friend named Aisling but everyone called her AI- Sling so Im not a big fan anymore. Sorry
My best friends DD is also Ashlynn (but spelt with two n's!).
The middle names that sprung to my mind were;
Kate
Leigh
Louise
HTH
MG
:
That is the traditional way, Ray ray so i would agree with you.
Great suggestions girls. I will run them by DP.
It is exciting actually having a name for our little one now. We are keeping it top secret from family and friends though.
The traditional spelling is beautiful but I dont think people would know how to say it.
Mother Goose- I like it with to n's as well. We will have to see what DP thinks. Ashlyn or Ashlynn
From your list I'd go Ashlyn, but I'm a traditionalist so if the next baby we have is a girl, her name will be Aislinn Rose :) (Irish spelling, but pronounced the same)
I like Ashlyn, and Rose was my first instinct for a middle name!
I really like Ashlin but Ashlyn is great too. Such a pretty little name.
Ashlyn Kate
I agree with those who would spell it Aisling. It's the traditional spelling, and while the pronounciation of the spellings with 'Ash' in them might be more straightforward, they look messy to me and blend in with all the trendy names.
As for middle names, I don't really like the Grace/ May/ Jade/ Kate type- too generic IMO.
Aisling Carla
Aisling Maria
Aisling Claudia
Aisling Clara
Aisling Sophia
Aisling Susannah
For some reason, I think it goes well with middle names ending in an A sound.
I'd spell it Ashlyn...:)
I would also spell it Ashlyn. My son goes to school with an Ashlyn and I have always thought it was a beautiful name.
For middle names, how about....
Ashlyn Elizabeth
Ashlyn Maree
Ashlyn Mae
Hope these help!
Id use an E myself ----Ashlen
but I think it might make it a bit masculine. :doh::comfort:
Good luck in choosing!
my first thought was Ashlyn Rose. or Ashlyn Mae popped in there too.
(the e in mae is sueposed to have a hyfen i think)
I'm in favour of either;
Ashlyn Jade
Ashlen Jayde
(Only one 'y' per option). Gorgeous name IMO!
Ashlyn Rose is also nice.

deffinetly the 1st
