What do you think for a boy, it's biblical and means healer which I like!

My daughter went to nursery with a boy called asa - he was a very handsome popular boy - I think it's a lovely strong name - only ever heard of it as a boys name

I thought of the Swedish girls' name too.

Um, just because it isn't currently popular for babies, doesn't mean it's not a common name.

I know a few Jewish boys called this.

Just googled it and its not in the top 100 girls names in Sweden, so not that popular, plus its pronounced Orsa anyway so that's not really a concern.

It is a VERY popular girls name in Sweden.

I misread your thread title as Asda at first glance, sorry! Blush
