Ashley



I am curious about Ashley's choice of cecmu for the translation of his
name.  I happened to be reading in the Oxford Encycl. of the English
Language, and in the section on the history of the language they mentioned
that "Stanley" descends from Stan-ley +> Stone-lea (stone-field).  This
would suggest to me that Ashley would come from a similar etymology meaning
ash-field, which in turn suggests foldi instead of cecmu.
