I heard the name Asia for a girl yesterday and found it quite interesting.
Does anyone like this?

I love Asia. The continent that is. I’ve lived in many Asian countries and I love everything about all of them. I also love dogs, mostly had rescue dogs and I recently saw two rescue Labradors, Asia and Africa and I fell in love. Now, I know you’re thinking, ‘Thanks, it’s a dogs name?’ But yeah, I like it for those positive connotations, so yeah be brave, use it.

It’s very popular in Italy where it’s pronounced ah-see-ah and I find that very pretty but don’t think it sounds as nice in English so no from me Grin

I’ve only ever known one, pronounced ass-ear

It's a pretty word but I don't like it as a name, no

Think of the potential for teasing: "Have you ever seen the natural wonders of Asia?" "I'm hoping to spend the night in Asia" etc etc

I like it.

Er makes me think of Asia Argento... one of the original actresses behind the Harvey Weinstein allegations and she’s recently been accused of sexual misconduct with a young teenage boy. Also it’s a continent not a name. I would avoid.
