Too popular. I know a brimful of them.

Love it! Would use it but we already have a Joseph and that would be 2 of Jacob's sons in the Bible - and we're not at all religious!

BreeVDKamp · 12/08/2015 20:50

[scatter] I just got it!

BreeVDKamp · 12/08/2015 20:51

Oops. I meant Grin scatter!

LavenderLeigh · 12/08/2015 20:51

Makes me think of Jane

NickiFury · 12/08/2015 20:56

I like it. I don't know any in RL.

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 12/08/2015 21:04

I love this name

ch1134 · 12/08/2015 21:05

To me Georgina sounds very British and Asher sounds more exotic.

Devora · 12/08/2015 21:07

Love it.

Janethegirl · 12/08/2015 21:07

Sorry Lavender why does it make you think of me?

I am not keen on the idea of naming a boy as Asher. (Or a girl!)

HomeHelpMeGawd · 12/08/2015 21:14

I love the name (it's what we chose for our lovely DS). It means "happy, blessed". It is unusual, clearly Hebrew / Biblical, but completely manageable for English-speakers, unlike, say Yoel or Nechama (the latter is a girl's name). I agree that it's an unusual choice next to Georgina.

foolmadammas · 12/08/2015 21:16

I know two - both American boys..... I like it, but did think it very unusual the fist time I heard it.

SwedishEdith · 12/08/2015 21:24

Great name but agree about the not going with Georgina. Names not going doesn't matter to everyone though.

oneowlgirl · 12/08/2015 21:35

Makes me think of the Christian bakery chain in Northern Ireland that was in the news recently - hadn't realised it was a biblical name & assumed it was their family surname Blush

LavenderLeigh · 12/08/2015 21:39

Because of Jane Asher.

I am very old.

VixxFace · 12/08/2015 21:41

I love it.

VixxFace · 12/08/2015 21:41

I love it.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/08/2015 21:42

LOVE it.

Burmama · 12/08/2015 21:50

Works for my DS ???? Agree it might it go w Georgina though

Dixiebell · 12/08/2015 22:51

I thought it was a girls' name! In fact I know a female one. But see it could work for both. I like it.

It'll cost you more than a dollar to eat here. But you won't need to eat anything else for the rest of the day....

HomeHelpMeGawd · 13/08/2015 08:22

Well, that message appeared on entirely the wrong thread!

VodkaValiumLattePlease · 13/08/2015 08:24

Game of thrones character

happystory · 13/08/2015 08:24

Only if you really like Ash too as you can bet it would get shortened

sweetpeame · 13/08/2015 08:28

It's ok. Also makes me think of the biblical story. Doesn't really matter if it "goes" or not with Georgina, they won't always been known as siblings!
