A guilty pleasure of mine, I absolutely LOVE the name Ainsley on a girl. I'm not as fond of Ainslie, but at the very least it's not Ainsleigh :-)

Yes, I know how lonely life can be.
The shadows follow me and the night won't set me free.
But I don't let the evenings get me down,
As long as you're around me.

Lol Ainsleigh is definitly nms, don't you think it's strange how a spelling can change the feeling of a name? For example, if I saw Ainsleigh I wouldn't like it, but Ainslie and Ainsley are different. It's probably just me lol

I just think it sounds kind of sleazy. That "slie" or "sley" ending puts me off of any name, first name or surname.

The only people I know with this name spell it Ansley. I definitely prefer Ainslie, though.

A part of me really likes it, it has that surname & masculine feel but the perks of being a legitimate feminine name, but I just don't know ... the ans part sort of hurts it.

NMS. I have a general disliking for most names ending in the cutesy and trendy "-ie" sound.

I don't really like the sound. Also, it makes me think of that tv chef - a large black man. Doesn't really seem like a girls name to me.

To me its yet another surnamey name ending in the trendy boring Lee /Leigh /Lei / Lea sound.
One thing it has going for it is its meaning is unisex, but its not my style
