Love this name for a boy.

Are we going to get lots of "Azza" and "Ass-a" pronouncing?

Ay-sa. I was at school with a boy called Asa. His nickname was Asa Spades

Never heard it before but would say Aysa.

I've not heard or seen the name before, I read it as being pronounced Ass-ser

Nope it’s not pronounced that way. It’s a biblical name I believe.

Ay-sa or Acer.

XiCi · 22/09/2024 21:32

It's pronounced Ay-sa

Andoutcomethewolves · 22/09/2024 21:31

Ay-sah/Acer

Holidayhell22 · 22/09/2024 21:31

As above Ay-sa (Acer)
I know a couple and they all use this pronunciation.

Traditional Yorkshire name.
Ace-er
Or Ay-sah
I can't imagine anyone living in the north of England saying Ass-er

Deliberationdivinationdesperation · 22/09/2024 21:29

Ay-sa / Acer - I thought most people were familiar with this name and so would be surprised if people said ass-a

GraceOMalleyReturns · 22/09/2024 21:28

I’d assume ‘Ass-A’

Toottooot · 22/09/2024 21:28

Ay-sa
