Re: Annoying names in fiction

Eh, not exactly. It may not have been a common name for girls, but that doesn't mean there weren't any female Ashleys before 1980:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_(name)#First_name.2C_female

Keep in mind those are just a listing of people notable enough to be in Wikipedia, so chances are there were some obscure female Ashleys born in the 60s and 70s, and perhaps earlier.

OK point taken... but still, for an unimportant character who's only purpose is to be in one scene and show that the main character is good at flattery? Not likely they were looking for a character like that to have some obscure name. It's the kind of character who's always called something relentlessly normal and forgettable, so the writers were probably using today's standards for the name when they chose it.

Yeah, maybe. But since it happens that the name may have been appropriate after all and that even throwaway minor parts don't have to have "normal" or common names, I'm not bothered.
