If you live in the US then no way yes it used to be a boys name but no more. I became way to popular on girls. that there is no longer anything masculine about it. If you live in another country then maybe.

I think someone is messing with this poll this has over 30 votes well others have only a handful I’d try again at another time.

"Originally," isn’t now. This child isn’t going to be living 100 years ago, he’s going to be living in a time where most Ashleys are girls.

I thinks its cool and unique. You don’t come across as many baby Ashley’s anymore. The youngest Ashley I know is 7. Maybe it time the boys got to use it more! Good luck!

It depends on where you live. Go with what you know. If where you live, there aren’t that many girl Ashley’s, or it is predominantly used on boys, then I’d go with it. However, I wouldn’t use Ashley for a boy if, where you live, someone were to see his name with no other information and assume he was a girl.
