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.

It's pronounced Ac er......type it in to YouTube. The pronunciation will be on there.

Ay-sa. For it to be Ass-a it would need two s’s

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.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 22/09/2024 21:32

Ay-sa or Acer.

Great name btw

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.

Beamur · 22/09/2024 21:30

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
