Ardsley for an older woman


Ainsley has always been a boy's name.
I know a teen girl Ainsley.


I know a 30-something woman Ainsley as well. I believe it's unisex, though SSA says it was given to 620 girls in 2022 and is outside of the top 1,000 for boys.

So, now I am questioning my own sanity. I went to school (junior high) with a Candy Cotton and I’m terrified I forgot submitting this response!

Are you positive that's the full name? Not as a nn for Katherine, or maybe she just named her Kit?

Ugh, I hate "virtue names." I guess this is better than Chastity? But not by much.

My kids have kind of boring names, but neither of these bother me. They're uncommon, but not unheard of. I'd put them in the bucket with the person who thought "Isla" was really weird.

I also went to school with a girl named Gidget, well after the book/movies/original tv show.

DD and I were talking about how much more fun “vice” names would be: Apathy, Complacence, Malice, Avarice, Vanity.
