Asa Rufus of course, ignore those who say its a girls name in Sweden. It is a biblical boys name and iris pronounceddifferent in Sweden.

I prefer Rufus. Asa sounds and looks feminine to me.

Asa Rufus
I adore the name Asa but it was vetoed :(
Rufus Asa kind of blends into one word as you say it , sounds more like Ru Fusasa

bundaberg · 08/09/2013 21:33

the swedish name is different anyway (has the thingy over the A) and is pronounced totally differently. so irrelevant IMRO (in my right opinion ;-) )
