Let's try this again...

[ladyofmoonlight.livejournal.com]

Okay, so I messed up last time with that whole "spelling Michaela wrong" thing, so let's try this again, shall we? I know several Ashleys, and most use that spelling but a few spell it differently. Which spelling do y'all like the most? The original "Ashley," or one of the newer spellings?

I like Ashley for a boy and Ashlee for a girl :)

My husband like Ashleigh.... which I think looks wrong.

Ashlea? That's not even "Ashley" in my opinion...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_whiskeytears/]

It's pronounced like "ash-lee-uh" to me

[timed.livejournal.com]

Yeah, for me too.

[mountain-nest.livejournal.com]

I see it like the -lea in Avonlea.

[timed.livejournal.com]

Sorry, how do you pronouce Avonlea?

[bopeepsheep.livejournal.com]

Avon-lee. Lea, Lee, Leigh and Ley all mean 'meadow' in English (and English-derived) place names and are all pronounced the same way.

[mountain-nest.livejournal.com]

A like apple, vuhn, lee.

A-vuhn-lee.

Fake place in Canada from Anne of Green Gables. :]

I have a friend who has it spelled "Ashleigh." I hate it.

[babyalligator.livejournal.com]

aw, i kind of liked that variation. i don't usually, but it just looks nice on paper (or monitor) hee.

[jenniferdunn.livejournal.com]

I think Ashley should always be Ashley, plain and simple.

[knightanika.livejournal.com]

I like it Ashley. My cousin named her daughter Ashleigh because my other cousin named her daughter Meghan Leigh and she liked the leigh spelling.

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

I voted for Ashlee, I think it's much more prettier that way even though I don't like the name.

[thejoysofjess.livejournal.com]

I work with an "Ashlei" and that bothers because because I keep thinking it should be pronounced "Ash-lay."

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

Ashley and only Ashley.

Ashlea isn't Ashley, it's Ash-lee-uh. and everything else just looks stupid.

[dingo83.livejournal.com]

I was just goping to post that I knew an Ashlei in high school, but I figured I would check and see if anyone else mentioned knowing an Ashlei. It always makes me think of LEI jeans.

[levis-jules.livejournal.com]

I have several friends who are into the whole "Leigh" spelling- Kyleigh, Kayleigh, and Leigh Anne- It's ok sometimes but I think Ashley should be Ashley!

[levis-jules.livejournal.com]

oh yeah and I know a girl who no lie named her son Kleighton (Clayton)- tell me how sad it is that this poor boy has to live with this the rest of his life!

[last-summer.livejournal.com]

I said Ashlee, just because I liked the girl I knew with it that way, and it makes a more common name different without being weird.

And I also would say Ashlea is Ash-lee-uh, that's how I've always heard it.

[home-to-me.livejournal.com]

I know of a girl (well, she's my age... like 22), named Ashleigh. I think that looks really pretty, but I think it'd be a constant thing where you;'d have to spell it for someone.

[knightanika.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know how to pronounce Kleighton if you didn't tell me!

[mappingcaroline.livejournal.com]

I like Ashlee. I think it will become more popluar because of Ashlee Simpson though.

[dionysia.livejournal.com]

I'd pronounce that "Klee-ton."

[jessiac.livejournal.com]

Ashleigh. I know too many boys called Ashley to use that spelling. I always think of Ashley Cole, the footballer!
