Your name of Ashlyn gives you a strong urge for independence. You are steadfast and loyal, and do not allow gossip or anything belittling to be said against those whom you accept in friendship. When you are required to express yourself in personal matters requiring finesse and diplomacy, you feel awkward and embarrassed. Preferring the simple life, you are content to forego the comforts and amenities that many people regard as essential. In conversation, you prefer to use as few words as possible and often choose silence rather than idle chatter. Yet, when they get to know you, they realize you are loyal in friendships and would go to any length to help someone in need. Your friendships and personal associations are rather restricted, being limited to those of a similar nature who can understand and accept your rather straightforward yet reserved manner. Usually, you would prefer to develop your own business or to work for someone who appreciates your strengths and personal qualities. You find satisfaction in being outdoors or in getting out into nature, or in dealing with the products of the earth. There is originality and depth of thought contained in this name, particularly along practical and mathematical lines.
