Ordinarily, we would follow the "Familyname Namename" rule transcribe ''艾希莉 / 艾思莉'' as ''Ai Xili / Ai Sili''. However, this is also a close approximation to, and can be used as, a Chinese transcription of the English name ''Ashley''. If the character is known to be named ''Ashley'' within the anime, add ''Ashley'' as the main name and ''Ai Xili / Ai Sili'' as the alias name. If it is uncertain that the character is named ''Ashley'', add the Chinese transcription as the main name, and ''Ashley'' as the alias. | Ordinarily, we would follow the "Familyname Namename" rule transcribe ''艾希莉 / 艾思莉'' as ''Ai Xili / Ai Sili''.
