So what do we think of....?

Asa.

Love this name and not many of them about. What do you think of it?

I know two, strangely - plus there is Asa Briggs the historian.

How would it be pronounced? Is it Ass-a, or A-sah?

Not very keen either way, tbh.

A-sah, I think.

"The Death of Asa" or "Asa's Tod" is one of the most beautiful pieces of music imo. It's part of

PS think it's pronounced Ay-sah

I quite like it.

Yes Ay-sah. Should have put the Y in.

I quite like it. The only one I've ever met in RL was a Labrador.

Actually, if it was spelt Aysa, it would take out the chance of teachers at school first pronoucing it Ars-a. Can you imagine the teasing if that happened?

AFAIK, BodyOfEeyore, it's a Scandinavian boy's name. I would see Aysa and think it was a girl's name...

I'd leave the spelling in the usual form, not least as Aysa looks much more like a girls' name.

Its Hebrew and means Healer or Doctor AFAIK.

I like it alot - i also thought of Asa Briggs.

i know an asa his sister is called freya. I like it :)

I love it and really wanted it for DS2 but chickened out. I think 'Acer' it is a better illustration of how it is pronounced.

Hmm, suwoo as a writtne pronunciation it's great, butnot sure spelling it that way would look too good - it's a brand of laptop isn't it?

oh! I was thinking of Asa as a girl's name! Whoops.

I know 2 Asa's, one of which is a complete tosser. It is a nice name though.

Great name. Older people will remember Asa Hartford (footballer)

I always think it looks like an acronym like Amateur Swimming Association or Advertising Standards Authority.

It is a very common Scandinavian GIRLS name. I have a good Swedish friend called Asa who is now in her late 30s.

Åsa is the correct way of spelling it in Swedish.

Don't like it.

Not keen TBH

I nwent to school with a boy called Asa, he was lovely. Really clever and kind. On those grounds only I am going to say yes! It's nice.
