Asher

[Darkpinkblue]

I absolutely love this name, my fav so far. It means 'blessed' and 'happy one' and is found in the Bible.
It's not too unusual is it?

Thanks

I really like it :)

I don’t think it’s unusual at all. I love the name and wanted it for my 5th but have an Asa and thought another ‘A’ biblical name was pushing it.

I really like it. Not so unusual these days.

Love it !

Love it

Thank you for the positive feedback :)

There was a film last year. (UK title - Hitman Redemption). Very cool character.

Personally I find it very soft sounding and I don't like the potential nickname Ash (reminds me of cigarettes)

Lovely, reminds me of the ash tree, which is beautiful. Great choice

I knew a girl called Asha. Would you be using it for a boy or girl?

I really like it it isn't massively popular, but certainly not too unusual. Easy to pronounce and spell, too.

Love it.... And the song Brimful of Asha (showing my age).

I think it’s one of those on the rise of that concerns you, I know 3 little ones around by me- I much prefer Asa but it’s not a bad name

It's a US chain of Indian eateries. The fist friends who go 9n holiday to the US, Dubai etc will know that. When I hear Asha I think mmm makhni

Asha for a girl Asher for a boy.
Lovely names.

I love it, Asa is a great name too as is Asha for a girl

Lovely. Very popular in Jewish communities IME.

I'm not keen. And it seems fairly popular around me for both girls and boys so not that unusual.

I really like it. I only know one Asher who's about 40.

Asha for a girl and Asher for a boy are two totally different names from different cultures. As a Christian I like biblical Asher as a potential for our son; DH (as an Indian Hindu) liked Asha for a little girl. The fact that the two names sound the same is not an issue in my opinion as the names are both ‘proper’ names with a good strong background in their cultures.
