Aislinn

in Baby Names

... So I realize I'm not even TTC (yet, will be soon) but I'm reading this book, and Aislinn is the name of the (female) main character.  WDYT? I kinda like it.  I might store it in my brain for if we ever have a dd... I looked it up and it is Gaelic, and means "dream".

 Forgot... Would you pronounce this As-lynn?

    I would probably say Ace Lynn...is that correct?

    Looks made up to me, but I found this...

    Never would have thought to pronounce it that way.

    See, I know an Ashlynn, and I don't really care for that name.  The more I look at it, I would pronounce Aislinn more like you said.  Huh... I don't think I like it as much since I know it's pronounced Ashlynn...Sad

    I like Ashlyn, but not Aislinn.  I find the spelling very odd and I'm not sure how to pronounce it with that spelling.

    This. I had no idea that the two names were pronounced the same.

    I believe it would be pronounced Ashlyn even though it is spelled Aislinn.

    I like the name Ashlyn and I found this website that has a list of Irish girl names and it has a button to press to hear the name being pronounced.Scroll down the page a little and you'll see it.

    It's awful. If it's truly Irish, then I would think you say it Ash-lynn.

    I only know of it spelled "Aisling" -- and pronounced "ASH-ling" and these are all folks who live in Ireland. But like most Irish names, there are probably multiple spelling variations and anglicized pronunciations.

    I have always really liked the name Aisling. I have seen Aislinn listed in some sources as an alternate version of Aisling.  I think they are both pretty names.

    It is pronounced ACE-lynn. I love this name and don't know why it isn't more popular.

    I would pronounce is Ays-linn.  I knew and Aislynn and this is how she pronounced it.

    If you like the pronunciation Ash-linn, I would spell it Ashlynn or Ashlinn.

    Honestly I don't love Aislinn or Ashlinn.

    My friend Aislinn was born and raised in Ireland.  She pronounces it ASH-LING.

    I love the name pronounced As-lin. I do not care for Ashlynn or spelling something from another country and not making it look American. People will forever mis-read; mis-speak the name. My husband's family are Irish and so we lean towards Irish/American names but as for actually BEING the Irish pronunciation and spelling...nah, I think i'd pass on that part.

    AT: The lion in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is named Aislinn (not sure of the spelling). Or maybe it's Aisling.

    I like the name but don't like it when people say it Ays-lyn or As-lyn since as we discovered it is supposed to be pronounced Ash-lyn.  Not that I like Ashlyn better but I like when cultural names a pronounced correctly, not Americanized! 

     The Lion is named Aslan
