Personal experiences with the name Ashton: | Edit

My older brother is Ashton, and he's been the only Ashton I've ever known. It took me some time to realize that it was an unusual name, but it has always sounded strong to me. He has never seemed to have trouble with his name, which is actually a middle name and a family name. That being said, I think boys often have more trouble during childhood with strange names. He was a natural leader, so no one ever gave him trouble for it.

My older brother is also named Ashton, and I do not think he had troubles with his name either. He's a red head, so I forever associate the name Ashton with red heads.
