Ashley vs. Allie/Ally/Alli/Ali

Hey guys its Olivia again. My dd was born on the 15th, but she is still nameless. Our other kids have curly, strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes if that helps. We found these two names that we really loved last night, so we would love you to give us your opinions since we need to turn her birth certificate in today. Please let us know which name you like better, why, and if you pick Ally, which spelling do you like best? Thanks!~Olivia, Brett, Mollie (5), Sarah and Nicole (2)

I voted for Allie,it seems to fit in better with your other children’s names.

I can’t picture Ashley with reddish hair or curls.I know three Ashley’s one has black hair and the other two dark brown.

I love Allie.I hate to throw another names at you but have you thought about Ashlyn?

I forgot to mention Ashlyn means dream.Good luck and congrats

Thanks Sk, but we don’t really like Ashlyn. That’s funny though, because we know 3 Ashleys as well, and one has blonde hair, and two have red hair. I guess everyone knows different people. Thanks!

I have always loved the name Ashley. i like Allie (this spelling, too), but I think I like Ashley better...either way, they are great names....and not Isabella, Bella, or Olivia...gl

Thanks pp, we love Ashley, but Allie is just adorable to us. Ugh I can’t decide.

You’re welcome.

How about Ashley Allison? Would this work with your last name? Or Allison Ashley with nn of Allie?

WDYT, IS Allie too close to Mollie?
posted by olivia :: 14 years ago | report
Thanks, but we want to name her what she will be called so it isn’t hi my names allison, but people call me Allie... you know? Thanks though

I personally think they are fine.If you have her fn Allison you can use Allie as a nn if you want but I think Allie is fine.
posted by SK :: 14 years ago | report
Definitely Allie. My daughter has a friend named Allie (just Allie, not short for anything) and it suits her perfectly. And I’d stick with that spelling. "Ally" is like a member of an alliance, "Alli" is a weight-loss product, and "Ali" will be pronounced with the emphasis on the second syllable, like Muhammed Ali. Definitely Allie.

I posted before I saw your message.Go with Allie.Do you have mn ideas?

I don’t think Mollie and Allie are too close, they are definitely similiar, though. Why don’t you flip a coin....that way, if it comes up Allie and you’re a bit disappointed, you’ll know you really like Allie better, or vise versa. Either way, I don’t think you can loose. And I’m with you, i don’t like nn for the very reason you suggested! gl

***oops, that’s supposed to say if it comes up Allie and your disappointed then you know you really like Ashley better***
posted by guest :: 14 years ago | report

posted by guest :: 14 years ago | report
I still love both equally, can you help me pick? Please and thank you!

Which name meaning do you like best?

Ashley- Ash tree
Allie- of noble birth
posted by guest :: 14 years ago | report
Well, I like the meaning of Allie, but we really don’t care about the meanings.
posted by olivia :: 14 years ago | report
There are too many Ashleys....it was especially over used in the 1980s along with Brooke. Ally is cute but it is a nickname for Alice, Allison, Alexis, Alexandra, Alexa, etc. I suppose it could be used as a name on its own though.

I have strawberry blond hair and blue eyes and my name is Ali. It suits me great and I love my name. contrary to the pp, NOBODY has ever pronounces it like muhammed Ali. I think Ali is cute and simple and the best way to go!
GL!!

I vote for Ali which is my nickname for Alexandra. Very rarely do I get it mispronounced. Not sure if it matters but I have very dark brown hair and green eyes and I have always loved being an Ali. (Even when I was younger and we would pretend play and get new names, I would have the hardest time because I just loved my name.)

I like Allie, and not just because I know one with red hair. I like it WAY better than Ashley. Ashley just seems over-used to me. Gl.
