I know a Trey and really like the name.

Love Asher, but not just Ash as his formal name.

alexdgr8 · 11/12/2024 17:09

No definitely not.
It's not horrible it's just not a proper name in my book.
It does not connote seriousness or solid dependability.
Sounds a bit flakes.
Remember a person is a child for only a v small portion of their lives.
The chosen name should suit an adult.

Reminds me of the character in the James Herbert books. If you like it then go for it. Doesn't matter what anyone on here says

Icarus40 · 11/12/2024 17:26

I like it! I do not like Ashley at all. I know an adult Ash - he's never had any issues with his name.

Doesn't matter what anyone on here says If that's the case why did you post? Smile

I'm seeking opinions on the name Ash for my baby. I'm a fan of the Evil Dead series and I think it's a unique cool name, I'm open to all feedback, but I do think it should be kept constructive and respectful

I don't like it. It has negative connotations to me. But if not to you, that is all that matters.

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 11/12/2024 17:45

I love Ash. I see it as a 'nature' name - like the tree.

Yes

MerryChristmasToYou · 11/12/2024 17:59

Would a child born in 2025 grow up knowing what an ashtray is?

Lwrenn · 11/12/2024 18:02

I love it!

Anotherworrier · 11/12/2024 18:03

But what about Pikachu?

Wigglywoowho · 11/12/2024 18:08

I prefer Asher, Ashton (not so much but more than Ash), Nash (maybe). All except Asher make mw pull an involuntary meh face.

Charlotte120221 · 11/12/2024 18:09

No. Everyone will assume it’s Ashley so he’ll have a lifetime correcting people, and ash just isn’t really something I’d name my kid after.

Onlyvisiting · 11/12/2024 18:12

Sorry no, as its at best a nickname and everyone will always ask him what it's short for.
asher, Ashley, Ashton all fine.

Squirrelsnut · 11/12/2024 18:13

I think grey, dry, unhealthy. Sorry.

Echobelly · 11/12/2024 18:15

I think it's a nice name. People may assume it's short for Ashley, but hey, Ashley is one of those names where I think every man I've met called that has been a good bloke!

Teeheehee1579 · 11/12/2024 18:16

It’s a very common name in both my DD’s secondary and also my godsons (different) secondary - if kids don’t like their given name and want something gender neutral then they go by ‘Ash’. I don’t mind it and don’t think it would be the worst thing to name your DS.
