Which spelling do you prefer and why?
It depends what you’re looking for. [name]Ashleigh[/name] is more feminine since [name]Ashley[/name] is originally a boy’s name, but [name]Ashley[/name] is simpler and the original spelling, the one everyone assumes is correct.
[name]Ashley[/name]! More traditional, easier, what everyone will assume.
[name]Ashleigh[/name] doesn’t look “wrong” or too youneek/kre8tiv, but, it just seems like she’d forever be spelling it.
i think [name]Ashley[/name] would age better as it seems to be the more accepted/expected spelling. [name]Ashleigh[/name] seems a bit cutesy to me
[name]Ashley[/name] is the more classic version (as classic as a unisex surnamey name can get) and [name]Ashleigh[/name] looks more trendy and complicated.
I prefer [name]Ashley[/name] because it’s shorter/easier to spell and also because this variation was used in Gone with the Wind.
[name]Ashleigh[/name] spelled like this is another name that breaks my normal naming rules. I just love this spelling over (what I usually prefer) the traditional. So I vote [name]Ashleigh[/name].
Ask me about [name]Kayleigh[/name] though, and you’ll get a totally different answer 
I prefer [name]Ashley[/name], it’s a more well known spelling.
I prefer [name]Ashley[/name]. It looks better to my eye & it’s simpler. She wouldn’t have to deal with misspelling or always having to spell it out.
I prefer [name]Ashley[/name]. [name]Ashleigh[/name] is too trendeigh.
[name]Ashleigh[/name] does not look right at all. -leigh has several different pronunciation possibilities, so it doesn’t look right to me.
[name]Ashley[/name], for sure, though I don’t like it on a female at all.
I kind of like the look of [name]Ashleigh[/name] but I would go with [name]Ashley[/name]. That’ll save the trouble of explaining " no , it’s l-e-i-g-h not l-e-y".
Woah! SO many [name_f]Ashleigh[/name_f] haters! Ha! [name_f]MY[/name_f] name is [name_f]Ashleigh[/name_f] so I may be biased 
BUT I don’t think it looks weird or is to trendy. On the contrary, [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] is so popular that [name_f]IMO[/name_f] [name_f]Ashleigh[/name_f] is more timeless. I get compliments on it all the time!
I always associate [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] as the male spelling and [name_f]Ashleigh[/name_f] as female.
[name_m]Even[/name_m] though I know [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] girls
I don’t like the name either way, but I would definitely go with [name_u]Ashley[/name_u].
I would go with [name_u]Ashley[/name_u].
Spelling [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] “[name_f]Ashleigh[/name_f]” doesn’t make it less of “originally a boy name.” It just makes it an awkward kreative spelling. If one absolutely had to respell [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] for heaven knows what reason, I would go with [name_f]Ashlee[/name_f]. [name_u]Lee[/name_u] is less annoying to me than [name_u]Leigh[/name_u].
But really I like [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] best, or actually just [name_u]Lee[/name_u].
I know that [name_f]Ashleigh[/name_f] might be a kre8tive spelling but I can’t help myself. I prefer [name_f]Ashleigh[/name_f]. I knew a [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] in school growing up and she was THE popular girl as well as being very sweet so that might have something to do with it.
I don’t count [name_f]Ashleigh[/name_f] as a kreative spelling - [name_f]Ashlee[/name_f] I would, but to me it seems like [name_f]Ashleigh[/name_f] is fairly common these days. I don’t know about in other countries, but where I am in the world [name_f]Ashleigh[/name_f] is just as common if not more so than [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] for girls. No matter which way it’s spelt, in this country [name_u]Ashley[/name_u]/leigh is one of those names you’re always going to have to spell out.
I’m going to go with the minority here and say [name_f]Ashleigh[/name_f]. Although I know an [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] (no Ashleighs) and an [name_f]Ashlie[/name_f] (which I slightly despise), I still like this spelling better. It’s one of the few 'leigh names that doesn’t look made up. It looks very pretty, [name_f]IMO[/name_f].
