Asher

[pramspotter]

It is a biblical/hebrew boys name. It means happy, rich, lucky.

What do you think?

makes me think of a Chaim Potok book -I think -My Name is Asher Lev?

not sure how I feel about the name. A bit too orthodox for me. I am Jewish BTW.

I was actually thinking about this yesterday..!!

There is a little boy at preschool called Levi (although I suspect after the jeans rather than the tribe of Israel) and I was thinking what other tribes of Israel could be actual names in todays world in the UK

Joseph, Benjamin, Dan of course, but then I came up with Levi and Asher which would be fine.

hm...isn't there a r&b singer called Asher?
It does sound nice,but people might start spouting how chavtastic it is
I don't think it's chav, btw...but...I am sure someone will be around in a moment and say something like that...

I really do like Levi

I would assume you were Jewish. Not that that's a bad thing or anything, that's just the first thought that comes to me.

Brimful of Asher on the 45...

Very biblical. I would think a boy named Asher was Jewish. Are you?

It's a strong and lovely name.

'everybody needs a bosom for a pillow..'

LOL MMJ, my thoughts exactly. I like it a lot though... and the name is cool as well

Will def be shortened to Ash though whether he wants it or not.

Nope we are not Jewish. We already have a Noah so we thought we would stick with the biblical thing.

The R&B guy is USher not Asher.

I love Noah. Not sure re Asher.

Wasn't there an Asher D from So Solid Crew? Probably an Ashley originally. Anyway, Asher is nice.

i'm dancing...

Actually and to my surprise i really like it.

There is a character called Asher in the Anita Blake books and he is very cool.

Yep, just googled. He was Ashley.

We both like biblical names and have an interest in the bible as a history/literature thing but we are athiests. So it would be a bit weird to have people think we are Jewish or christian bible thumpers or something.

ds has a friend called asher he is lovely and its a cool name.

I think I would assume you were Jewish too. That's not a bad thing, of course, but I'm an atheist too and rejected a couple of names (can't remember what they were now) which I thought might make people who didn't know us assume we were Christians. Just something to bear in mind.

I've been contemplating the name all day - and it has grown on me. I think it is prety cool. Kind of like Ashley, but cooler!

I think Asher is larvley. I also know a girl called Wre-asher. Looks odd but sounds noice.

I like it. I have a Noah too, (and a Samuel). May have to bear Asher in mind if I ever talk DH into number 3.
I like Reuben too, but my friend has a boy with that name.

I loved the book 'My Name is Asher Lev' and know the most adorable 4-year-old named Asher, so it's got some good connotations to me and I like it.

I loved the book too. May reread it one day.
