Me and DH are currently ttc our last baby, if we do and we have a boy we are thinking of using the name Asher, we already have a Jacob, Joseph, Isaac and Lily (twins), does this name go well with the other names and are there others that you can suggest?

I like it and think it goes well with the other names.
I also like Archer.

NeutralJanet · 13/07/2020 14:16

I think its fits well, Asher was one of Joseph of the Technicolor dreamcoat's brothers in the story wasn't he.

I really like it.

FelicityPike · 13/07/2020 14:22

It’s a good, strong Biblical name that matches really well with the other names.

SimonJT · 13/07/2020 14:23

It makes me think of a ‘brin full of Asha’

PaulinePetrovaPosey · 13/07/2020 14:23

Really like it.

I like it

ElizabethMainwaring · 13/07/2020 14:44

Like it. Taught a boy of this age. He would be around 22 now. A really strong name.
Never come across another Asher and I've come across thousands of kids in my time.

ElizabethMainwaring · 13/07/2020 14:45

Sorry, I meant name, not age.Confused

NeverHadANickname · 13/07/2020 15:03

I really like it. It was on our short list for a boy but didn't use it in the end.

ticktackted · 13/07/2020 15:12

I like it a lot, doesn't work with our surname or we'd be using it!

Thistlegirl4 · 13/07/2020 15:24

Asher is a lovely name and works well with the other children's names.

MikeUniformMike · 13/07/2020 15:28

I don't like Archer at all.
Asher is ok, but will be Ash.

ILoveStickers · 13/07/2020 15:42

Really like Asher.

CaffiSaliMali · 13/07/2020 16:14

I like it and also like Asa which has a similar feel. It goes well with your other sons old testament names too.

chillimartini · 13/07/2020 16:41

Really like it!

timetest · 13/07/2020 16:43

Like it.

Shmithecat2 · 13/07/2020 16:44

I like it. A boy in my son's preschool is called Asher and he's an awesome kid.

Flymetothestars · 13/07/2020 16:44

Adore it and works well with other names

Good luck TTC

Alongcameacat · 13/07/2020 16:46

Brimful of Asha on the 45......,

frocksmock · 13/07/2020 16:56

It's becoming popular in my area - several Ashers here

finallychangedmyusername · 13/07/2020 19:28

Really lovely name and great with your other childrens' names

VenusClapTrap · 13/07/2020 19:47

I like it, but with those other names it’s a bit themey (with the exception of Lily). I’d assume you are a big Old Testament fan.
