@AutumnCrow, I so wanted this for DS, abbreviated to Sam. I’m a civil engineer, but DH was not so keen.

Åsa is a Swedish girl’s name. Acer (like the tree ) works better for a boy.

@AutumnalLeaves38 I agree.

@RunBikeSki

If I'd had an Isambard, I think I might have gone with Isa for short.

@Vix, Asa Hartford was (is) a famous footballer, deffo male. Scots, if I recall correctly. I like the name, anyway. Acer reminds me too much of my troublesome computer.
