Girls name to go with Asher

16 replies

We called our son Asher several years ago when it was still very unique (has since become the number 1 name in USA! Not so popular here though). Cannot for the life of me find something suitable for a girl - something not too weird but definitely not too popular either. Any suggestions?

Hmmmm... Need a bit more to go on. What does your surname begin with?
I've always liked Genevieve

ThenBellaDidSomethingVeryKind · 05/04/2015 18:01

And Rowan

DS1 is Asher. DD has a name that was unusual when she was born, but is now really, really popular. DS2 was going to be Esther if he was a girl. Other names I love are Joy, Greta, Tessa and Carmen.

Last name begins with K

Would have used Carmen, but it doesn't go with our surname. DD is Ava, which, believe it or not, had people saying "oh, that's unusual!" 11.5 years ago! Grin

Asher is a lovely name btw- what's the first letter of your surname?

Carmen is on my list too! what about:

Scarlett
Sara
Phillipa (Pippa is such a lovely nn)
Camilla

Sara and Philippa were both on my pretty long shortlist too!

Asher is not the number one boys name in the US...

This link gives the top names for 2013. It's at number 104.

Excellent choice by the way. We have one too!

If you want a name that matches Asher then I think you could take it one of two ways - biblical or very modern/American.

So:
Abigail, Rebekah, Lydia, Delilah, Ruth, Esther, Naomi, Eve, Leah, Rachel, Miriam, Mary, Martha, Deborah, Anna, Dinah, Adah, Elizabeth, Hannah, Keziah, Jemima, Judith, Phoebe, Julia, Sarah, Priscilla, Tabitha, Zipporah, Susanna, Tamar

Addison, Avery, Aubrey, Amber, Amberley, Atlanta, Alaska, Bailey, Brynn, Brogan, Cassidy, Casey, Courtney, Dakota, Evelyn, Emery, Ebony, Eden, Fallon, Fawcet, Genesis, Halle, Hadley, Harley, Harper, Jordan, Jasmine, Jade, Journey, Kayley, Kendall, Kennedy, Kinsley, Leona, Leonie, Lexi, Linnet, Macey, Miley, Marley, Misty, Morgan, Madison, Makayla, McKenna, Marissa, McKinley, Nikita, Nicole, Ocean, Piper, Peyton, Paisley, Quinn, Riley, Sydney, Spencer, Sutton, Shelby, Story, Taylor, Zia
