Name pronunciation

The 'e' is silent. It's Ashe like ash, not ash-she or [long a] a-she or ash-shay [French version]. It's just Ashe [silent e].

Oh and while we're at it, it's Leslie Ashe not Asheley. How in the heck do people take my wife's first name and morph it with our last name?

And Shaypher I am sorry for creating a kerfuffle of pronunciation for your name. Really, do people not know that the [ph] makes an [f] sound? And what is it with the French pronunciation? Shay-fear? Sorry Shay-fur.
