Asa?

[mumofthreetobe]

What's the first thing that springs to mind when you hear Asa? is it 'different but nice' or 'chav'. Straw poll please, thanks.

love it. the only Asa I have known was frighteningly cool.

isn't it pronounce Ohsa in sweden?

I like it btw.

I like it. Yes, biblical - think he was a doctor - off the top of my head! Our old next door neighbour (in his 30s - v rich and handsome!) was called Asa. Go for it. It was on my list, but dh wasn't keen.

asa what?
asa ball.

I know an Asa. Lovely name(lovely man too, but that's another story...).

I love it, knew one at school and wanted it for a boy should i have one.

when ds came along DH vetoed it

It makes me think of Asa Hartford who used to play for Man City (my team) in the 1970's - he seemed to be a gentle, genuine man so I think its a really unusual, lovely name.

My DS4 has an Asa in his class (the only one in a school of over 2,000 pupils) I know that he dosen't get teased about it and my DS thinks its a fab name.

Good choice xx

I like it, sounds alot like my current fave Aasiyah.

But mine is for a girl

Thanks for the (most recent) lovely comments. Was beginning to think we'd gone mad. Still in the running then

I met a baby Asa too recently... Is cute, I knew it as a boy's name (Hebrew?) already though didn't know what it meant.

i think there was a footballer called Asa Hart,will google...

Is it Dutch?

Aha,not Asa Hart but Asa Hartford.Played for Man u AT 1 POINT,LOL

Know one (5yo) - he is very cool.
Like it - nice, unusual but classy. imvho

mAN cITY,EVEN,LOL

Yes Man City, had it been Man U DH would NEVER consider it!!!

Lovely lovely name.

On my list for a while now

Def not a made up name.

Mavis Man Utd????? You swine!!! Wash your mouth out LOL xx

You have to love the 1970's picture!!

Asa Briggs.

Was disappointed by his book 'Victorian Things', so I would have to say no to baby Asa.

Apart from that, why not?

I like the name, there's a few friends of friends on facebook with this name. But I wouldn't know how to say it. I'd guess 'Ay- Sa'?

Unfortunately the only one I've ever come across in teaching was a naughty boy from a rather unpleasant family which put me off!
