Achli

Ash lee equals Ash grove. In Spanish this would be fresnal. But I think you just want to know hot to pronounce it, not translate it. Show this to a Spanish speaker and they'll get as close as they can: Achli

agree Claudia Alvis : There are names that have an equivalent in Spanish like: Andrew-Andrés, Joseph-José, etc. But as Nitzsa and Henry say, 'Ashley' has no Spanish equivalent.

Cenicienta

Since there is no Spanish equivalent to Ashley, if she wanted to have some fun and make a pun of it, she could use Cenicienta, which is derived from ceniza, "ash", and is the Spanish name for Cinderella.

I presume this is for Spanish class. Of course the ash of Ashley is the ash tree, fresno in Spanish, but unless she finds Fresno a catchy name, my original suggestion stands.
