Love it! Would use it but we already have a Joseph and that would be 2 of Jacob's sons in the Bible - and we're not at all religious!

To me Georgina sounds very British and Asher sounds more exotic.

Sorry Lavender why does it make you think of me?

I am not keen on the idea of naming a boy as Asher. (Or a girl!)

I love the name (it's what we chose for our lovely DS). It means "happy, blessed". It is unusual, clearly Hebrew / Biblical, but completely manageable for English-speakers, unlike, say Yoel or Nechama (the latter is a girl's name). I agree that it's an unusual choice next to Georgina.

I know two - both American boys..... I like it, but did think it very unusual the fist time I heard it.

Great name but agree about the not going with Georgina. Names not going doesn't matter to everyone though.

Makes me think of the Christian bakery chain in Northern Ireland that was in the news recently - hadn't realised it was a biblical name & assumed it was their family surname Blush

I thought it was a girls' name! In fact I know a female one. But see it could work for both. I like it.

It'll cost you more than a dollar to eat here. But you won't need to eat anything else for the rest of the day....

Only if you really like Ash too as you can bet it would get shortened

It's ok. Also makes me think of the biblical story. Doesn't really matter if it "goes" or not with Georgina, they won't always been known as siblings!
