Since when is Ashley a fucking gender-neutral name?
Since forever, basically?

Yes, Ashley is a gender-neutral name. It originated as an Old English surname that combines the words æsc (ash) and lēah (forest glade). The name translates to "ash tree meadow".



Explanation
  • Ashley was originally used as a male name in England, but is now used primarily for females in the United States and Great Britain.
  • Ashley became a popular first name in the 1970s and 1980s.

  • Variations of the name Ashley include Ashely, Ashlee, and Ashlyn.

  • A unisex name is a given name that is not gender-specific. They are also known as androgynous names, epicene names, or gender-neutral names.
  • Unisex names are common in the English-speaking world, especially in the United States.

Since around 1970, when it started being heavily used for girls.


The response of a generative AI to a question of fact is not useful or relevant here.
After some quick research it seems it is indeed a somewhat common name for boys in the UK and was at one point Australia. Which I found pretty surprising. In the US it's definitely a girl's name.

The American main character in the Evil Dead and Army of Darkness movies, played by Bruce Campbell, is named Ashley (Ash) Williams. It's uncommon now as a boy's name in the US, but it used to be more common. I've also seen "Ashleigh" in the US before, as an "always-feminine" version of the name (which amuses me, since the only Leigh I know is a man).
