Both are pretty names, and I know a Holly who was born in April, so it's not just a Christmas name!. However, your parents may feel hurt if you reject the name they gave you!. Instead of actually CHANGING your name, why not simply ask your friends to start CALLING you Holly!? A friend of my sister's once picked a nickname for herself and asked her friends to start using it, and they did!. Then as you move into new situations, you can introduce yourself as Holly!. If you continue to use that name, you may find yourself referred to in writing as "Ashleigh Jane ('Holly') Doe!." I've even seen obituaries in which the deceased was referred to similarly--known by an actual given name that was nether of the two he or she had been given at birth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes, but you should change your name from ashleigh,that name has so much wrong with it I would ask your parents what the hec they were thinking when they gave you that awful name, and holly that is just as bad ,check out a name book that should help, good luckWww@QuestionHome@Com

NO YOU CAN BE NAMED HOLLY ANY TIME IF YOU CHOOSE TO BE OR YOUR PARENTS NAME YOU THIS EVEN IF YOU ARE BORN IN JUNE!.
or you could simply change the spelling of your name to
ASHLEY!.either one works good luck to you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Why change at all!. Nothing wrong wit your given name!. It has meaning to your parents!. You might ask them about it and find out where it came from!. You might have reason to be very proud!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
