My Ever-Growing Favorites Name List

I've been interested in names and naming ever since I was a little girl. Over the years, I've found and developed some favorites that have stuck with me. And now, because of Nameberry, I'm discovering a fun, new way to start collecting my favorites again, either made up by myself, friends or because of exploring this site.

<p>Ashling (also spelled Aisling) is a feminine Irish name derived from the Gaelic word "aislinge," meaning "dream" or "vision." In Irish literary tradition, an aisling was a poetic genre involving dream-vision poems where Ireland appeared to the poet as a woman. The name emerged in popularity during the Irish cultural revival of the 20th century and has become increasingly popular among diaspora families seeking to connect with their Irish heritage. While relatively uncommon outside Ireland and Irish communities, Ashling offers a lyrical quality with its soft sounds and meaningful heritage. The name represents imagination, hope, and the mystical aspects of Irish cultural tradition.</p>
