  • Love, love, love the name Ainsley!  One of my DD's name choices was Ainsley Elisabeth ....

    I love Scottish and Irish names ... I think they're super cool.  I like Ainsley better because I like the "long a" sound better.

  • I love Ainsley!!! I know a little Ainsley Elizabeth and she's the cutest!!

    Am I the only one who says this differently? For Ansley I pronounce Annsley, which I strongly dislike.
  • Yeah, I don't like either. Sorry.

  • Totally disagree with all, we LOVE them both. We went with Ansley, but spelled it Anslea - the Lea is my middle name.

    DH liked Ainsley better than Ansley, but since we spelled it with the lea, I liked the spelling better with Anslea. DD is Anslea Grace H...

    I love that its different.

    Look out baby #3 is on his/her way!

  • Our friends have an Ainsley and they actually pronounce it Annslee.

    I find them both a little awkward to say, but out of those too, I prefer Ainsley.

    I would say them differently too.

    Ainsley = Ayn-slee

    Ansley = Ann-slee

    I prefer Ainsley...although I kind of like what one PP mentioned...Anslea (with the Ann-slee) pronunciation.

    I think you are thinking of "Annalise/Annaliese" .  I can't see how someone would hear "Ains -Lee" and think "anal ease" - they sound literally nothing alike.

    Neither, Its to made up.

    Neither names are made up whatsoever. I'd much prefer Ansley/Ainsley over Brayden/all the other names that include an unnecessary "y." 

    OP, I prefer the Ainsley spelling over Ansley and agree with PPs that I pronounce them differently.
