  1. I have loved Ashley for a boy since I watched Gone with the Wind with my mom as a kid. My husband and I try to pick English or Scottish names, so using Ashley fit perfectly.

    I wish there was a more masculine spelling of it to signal that it’s for a boy, but unfortunately all the alternative spellings are even more feminized.
