Thoughts please!

My husband and I like both these names for our soon-to-be-son.

I have a slight preference towards Asher and he likes Asa a bit better....

How about Ash as a compromise?

Asha. I would be singing Brimful of Asha in my head though.
With Asa is that pronounced like Asia of like Acer the Japanese maple?

Asa. An Asa passes the train driver/lawyer/high court judge test. My DS has a friend called Asa and he's lovely so maybe that's why I'm fond of it

My ds is Asher. I love both names, but Asa sounds too much like dd's name (Ava), and also I prefer the nn Ash to the nn Ace, which reminds me of Red Dwarf for some unknown reason! You can't go wrong either way though. I get lots of compliments about ds's name, especially from the teenagers I teach, who all think it is "really cool".

I like Asa, DS was nearly Aesir but I discounted it when he was born as I thought he would need to be blonde for a Norse name. Imagine my disappointment when his jet black hair fell out at 6 months and was replaced by sandy blonde.
