I think it's nice.

Makes me think of 'Jane Asher'

Makes me think Fantasy - I'm reading a book with an Asher in it at the moment (another charactor is called "Gar") I wouldn't go down that route - Fantasy charactors are called silly names IMO. The Old Testament link is fine though - we wanted an Ezra too (fab name!)

I love it (for a boy). My Dh laughed in my face when I suggested it, however , which is his response to most of the names I like...

friends Dp is called Asher.

i neither like nor dislike it, but i don't think its a name i would choose

It resounds beautifully but gives me goosebumps as it reminds me of the main character in the witches trilogy by Ann Rice.

Astrophe · 25/02/2008 22:44

I like it.

auricace · 21/02/2010 11:56

I like this name it is a bit different than the more commonly used Ashley but is still nice and not too strange

LynetteScavo · 21/02/2010 11:58

Asher is a great name.

janeite · 21/02/2010 12:02

Asha, as in 'brimful' is a woman, a Bollywood actress I think.

Names like this are not normally my cup of tea but I must admit I like Asher. DD2 would have been Rowan Asher or Rowan Ashley, had she been ds.

DD is Asha - means to hope and wish. Longed for child after I was told I could not have any. Most peoples response is very positive - pretty, unusual etc.

ellesabe · 21/02/2010 12:20

I love it!

ilovesprouts · 21/02/2010 12:34

reminds me of the song ,sorry dont like it

sfxmum · 21/02/2010 12:58

Asher is a vampire
