My Hubbie and I are totally loving Ashton - did Kutcher ruin it - or is it a case of give it 10 years and no one will even remember him???

WDYT?

Whole name would be Ashton Joel

TIA

If you love it I would use it, I think it's a nice name.

Of course you can, I did! Use the name you both love or you will regret it!!! Trust me I know.

I think people only started considering Ashton after Ashton Kutcher, I think it will date. FWIW, I don't think it goes with a classic like Jemima.

DS2 went to kindy with an Ashton, beautiful boy. Go for it

I heart Asher.

As I have 2 x girls, feel free to use this name

I like it, and it will sound totally different without the "Kutcher" - if you know what I mean!

And yes, I agree that in 10 years, it won't matter..

My DS2 is Ashton...

Nobody has EVER asked me about if its after ashton kutcher etc.. and it never even crosses my mind, it really isnt an issue at all...it Suits him perfectly, he is such a sweety..It was the only name i fell in love with instantly, same as DH so Ashton it was and there is no other name that would of worked...

Go for it I havent come across any others in my school travels either!

DS1 - I used to get asked all the time about his name and the whole is it because of party of 5 and also the drink but thats stopped now.. ps its Bailey

DD goes to kinder with a little boy called Ashton and actually I never even thought of Kutcher...and I am even a bit of a fan! I think it is a pretty cool name.

I like it, but the only Ashton I have ever heard of is Ashton Kutcher.

In saying that, there are far worse celebrities to share a name with.

my ds, who was our "schoolyard referee" for DD's names doesnt even call Ashton Kutcher Ashton, he refers to him as Kelso!

I like the name and the man, so no problem here.

Exactly. People might not be naming their child after him but I'd never heard of a single Ashton until Kutcher became famous.

I much prefer Ashley or Asher.

its such a nice name it was definetely one of my top fives, and any name starting with A is a strong name imo

Personally I don't associate it with Kutcher and had come across people named Ashton before I knew who Ashton Kutcher was.

Its not my style of name but if you love it I wouldn't let the celebrity connection put you off.

I don't think Kutcher when I hear Ashton. If you like the name then use it; Ashton Joel flows very nicely.

I like the name & the association isn't a bad one so go for it.
I also like Aston, Asher & Archer.

Who is Kutcher?

Ashton is okay, Joel is fantastic.

I actually don't mind Ashton Kutcher so I don't automatically associate with it negatively.

I think it's a fine name.

Love it.. and if you both totally love it, then you should absolutely use it

Ashton Kutcher - goggle him, you know married to Demi Moore, star of That 70's Show & other movies....

What's wrong with Ashton Kutcher ?

I don't automatically think Kutcher when I hear Ashton. If it is a name you and your partner both love, then there should be nothing stopping you using it. For me I don't think it is any more Kutcher than Heath is Ledger.

I've known several Ashtons in my life - it's a GREAT name Ashton Joel sounds beutiful - if you love it go for it!!!

For another variation, one of our friends husband is from Sri Lanka, his name is Ashan which I really love as well (pronounced Ash-Ahn)
