Only two I've ever heard of are Asa Briggs the historian & Asa Harford the footballer - both pronounced a-za with a long a for the first syllable.

That should be Asa Hartford btw

Acer. I love it, tis on my middle name list for DC3.

RustyBear · 19/04/2009 17:31

Acer is a computer manufacturer! - I'd definitely give it more of a z sound.

Disenchanted3 · 19/04/2009 17:32

SIL liked the name Aria, a PC shop,lol.

suwoo · 19/04/2009 17:35

My old laptop was an Acer.....I still like it .

RustyBear · 19/04/2009 17:40

I am probably prejudiced by having to send the same school laptop back to Acer 5 times in 6 weeks - two of those times it was because they returned it with the wrong operating system.
It kind of put me off the name....

I really really like the name Asa. Pronounced Ay-sa.

But one of dh's bst friends is called Asa so that's that ruled out!

I've heard this pronounce Oh-za before. It's lovely.
