    Ah! That makes more sense. Not in a region with too many people of Italian origin myself so that didn't occur to me .3.

    Physics textbook example/problem authors are notorious smartasses. "Your cousin Throckmorton, a.k.a. Throcky" is a fine addition to such classics as the slide-loving pig, the perfectly elastic octopus thrown onto the ice during a hockey game, and "calculate how wide Legolas's pupils must be to be able to see what color the Rohirrim's hair is from 30 miles off."

    The 2016 national high school finals in France featured a series of physics exercises on the orbital mechanics of the Tatoo system.

    Saro Where is wizard hut

    I've seen both, but more often a surname. That said, I still think it counts as a classic name. I find it delightful.

    Very bad, and the worst part is that I could come up with even worse and have it sound plausible. I'm amazed I haven't seen, like, an Aschleigh or something, given how intent people seem on spelling "Ashley" oddly.

    I await people going hey Aisling actually is said ashling I can apply this to Ashley and give it a fun twist.

    I mean, Aisling is pronounced that way because it's Irish (a quick Google reveals that Ashley is an English name). Aisley (or Aislee, or Aisleigh, or what-fucking-ever) would make zero sens

    It's perfect.

    EDIT: Also, the correct spelling of Aisling in Ireland is more like Aislin or Aislinn, IIRC (pronounced the same), I think with at least one accent mark, but I can get why people would put the G at the end?
