Is Ashley a boy or a girl ?
No offence meant,but it appears to be a unisex Christian name.

Thanks.
I did discover Kaiya was a boy a few weeks ago. Until then I thought the same as you two.

A friend of mine has a daughter, aged 8.
She was telling me about her daughter's friend - 'Aubrey'

I said - 'She has got a boyfriend at 8 years of age?'
No - she replied - 'Aubrey is a girl at school.

'No'- I insisted - 'Aubrey is a boy's name - has she, have you, got the name right?'

'Yes', she replied - 'SHE is called Aubrey'.

I was unbelieving - as the only AUBREY I could think of was ...

'Aubrey' BOYCIE in 'Only Fools and Horses'.  Happy
----------------

No doubt - salmon spray - has still got pictures of fiim star actress Audrey Hepburn on his bedroom wall.

As I am sure you will know - salmon

Her full name was - Audrey Kathleen Hepburn (née Ruston; 4 May 1929 – 20 January 1993)

She may have changed from being known as/referred to - Audrey - to Kathleen - as her career progressed -

- as she was afraid of being mistaken for American film star - Gene Autry

Where are we going, now .... a bloke called 'Gene' -- that's a female name, isn't it?  Grin

I was thinking of Katharine Hepburn ( b.1907 ) and no relation but was Bogie's missus as well as a big star in her own right.
The best mess was caused by Evelyn Waugh who married a woman called Evelyn. As Waugh was strongly rumoured to be bisexual it makes you wonder.

Katharine Hepburn used to knock about with Spencer Tracy.

Happy - penance.

Could have been worse .... Marion Morrison  =  John Wayne

He, John Marion Wayne, and fellow cowboy actor,  Gene Autry, may well have made a good couple.

Talking of "odd" names...
There's a new, to me anyway, reporter on BBC called Julia Caesar
Don't know if she married into the surname, or the parents sense of humour

Either way, she gets the "thumbs up" from me

Sorry.Katherine Hepburn was indeed Tracy Spencer's smooch. Bogart's was Lauren Bacall. I tend to get the two mixed up. HHopefully they didn't.
I didn't know Hilary could be a boy's name until Mr Benn appeared.
On the Caesar theme one of the leading cricketers of the mid-19th century was Julius Caesar. I always assumed it was an alias,but apparently not,the family name was Caesar. Perhaps Julia is a relative.

Going back to Ashley Lewis for a moment. He his now 3rd in the Jockey Apprentice title. Has the best winning % of those lads and is showing a small level stakes profit on hi rides.

His Great grandfather lives in Tarleton and has been a dear friend for almost 50 years, he his not in the best of health but watching both of his Grandsons has been a real tonic for him. It will be nice if Ashley can do it and he is going flat out for it.

He does indeed look a decent rider. he got a double up at a track I was at a few weeks ago,which left me rather out of pocket.
