MerlinsBeard · 25/02/2008 20:54

Its not one that i like, remnds me of a song...brimful of asher on the 45... isn't it supposed to be a euphamism for coke ona record? (in that song)

BibiThree · 25/02/2008 20:54

I like it as a middle name - goes well as a tag-on if you know what I mean...?

def no

nkf · 25/02/2008 20:57

I think of ashes.

BrownSuga · 25/02/2008 20:58

Asher was the 8th son of Jacob, and his name means happy, happiness.

msappropriate · 25/02/2008 20:59

I think of the Jacob and sons song from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour dreamcoat.

Old Testament names are very popular at the moment. I know boys called Asher, Dan, Noah, Jacob, Jonah, Caleb, Reuben, and a Zion

Bubble99 · 25/02/2008 21:00

Asher is a Hebrew name.
Ashok and Asha are Indian names.

Othersideofthechannel · 25/02/2008 21:01

Asha as in Brimful of Asha is an Indian name. Means 'hope' (in Hindi I think)

Ulysees · 25/02/2008 21:01

depends on surname really quite like it

Bubble99 · 25/02/2008 21:01

Asher is considered quite an 'old man's' name by my (Jewish) ILs.

A bit like Ernie or Harold.

dressedupnowheretogo · 25/02/2008 21:02

i love it

beachlover · 25/02/2008 21:02

yes its a wonderful meaning happy and fortunate

Ulysees · 25/02/2008 21:03

my boys have unusual names. Youngest is very unusual and got some strange reactions to that but it suits him and his middle and surname.

sophierosie · 25/02/2008 21:04

Sorry - the first thing that comes to my mind is Asher D - that bloke from so solid crew [cringe]
