My beautiful last baby was Asa. It's a biblical name. Obviously I love it.

@AfricaBlue - my DH and I are having exactly this debate right now! Please can I ask what you went for in the end and why?

Love Asa! Reckon it may start becoming a bit more popular due to the actor. He's basically an international household name now after his recent Netflix series

Awakeandreading · 27/01/2019 12:00

Asa would be my choice!

Gotstuckwiththisname · 25/01/2019 06:53

Absolutely love Asa.

treenu · 25/01/2019 06:48

Asa for sure. I really liked it and would have used it if we had another ds.

Palestperson · 25/01/2019 06:02

Asa. Once of my favourites for a long time.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 25/01/2019 00:29

Asa- more unusual yet traditional

chocolatefoxes · 25/01/2019 00:25

Love Asa because of Asa Butterfield the actor.

Ngaio2 · 24/01/2019 22:17

I love Asa. The child actor in the Boy in Striped pyjamas and Hugo has this name.

cosytidy · 24/01/2019 21:48

Asa gets my vote

Pyotrkrolik · 24/01/2019 17:43

Asa is a great name imo. I love Noah but there are lots and lots around now.

percheron67 · 24/01/2019 12:57

Noah. Asa sounds like an acronym for a type of disorder.

JacksonPillock · 24/01/2019 12:56

Depends on your accent and if you pronounce rhotic Rs or not.

In most of England, Asa and Acer are pronounced the same though, true.

Marcipex · 24/01/2019 12:54

The only Asa I know is pronounced exactly like Acer Confused

Absofruitly · 24/01/2019 12:53

Asa definitely.
Asa Butterfield is a very cool young actor, currently being excellent in 'Sex Education' on Netflix. One of the best shows on offer on Netflix at the moment. He's the only Asa I've heard of.

MyFriendGoo5 · 24/01/2019 12:49

Asa is pronounced differently to Acer.

The A, is sounded, not er .........I certainly wouldn't be put off a name because some people might not know the history behind it.

Same as I.wouldnt be put off Jacob because it's a brand of crackers or Maisie because it's a kids cartoon.

ChoudeBruxelles · 24/01/2019 10:43

ASA just made me think you were talking about advertising

MikeUniformMike · 24/01/2019 10:42

Asa, but you've seen the responses on here.
Noah is nice but too popular.

daisypond · 24/01/2019 10:40

Asa. It's a biblical name. As in the historian Asa Briggs.

gentlyscented · 24/01/2019 09:53

Love it, I know a eazah,sound quite similar

hallodarknessmyoldfriend · 24/01/2019 09:30
