Love this name and not many of them about. What do you think of it?

I'd leave the spelling in the usual form, not least as Aysa looks much more like a girls' name.

AFAIK, BodyOfEeyore, it's a Scandinavian boy's name. I would see Aysa and think it was a girl's name...

Actually, if it was spelt Aysa, it would take out the chance of teachers at school first pronoucing it Ars-a. Can you imagine the teasing if that happened?

How would it be pronounced? Is it Ass-a, or A-sah?

Not very keen either way, tbh.

I know two, strangely - plus there is Asa Briggs the historian.
