Meh. I like ASS-ah, but there's the obvious problem with it having "ass" right in there. AY-sah sounds whiney and cutesy, not to mention vaguely feminine. I don't hate it, but I don't really like it either.
Never heard of ASS-ah before, but you're right, there is kind of an obvious overtone with that.
It's the name of my (sort-of) boyfriend :-D So, I'm biased, but I really like it. I liked it before I knew my Asa, actually. It's very handsome and underused but not unheard of.
Those are the names I love...handsome, underused, but not unheard of...
Thanks!
Thanks!
I like it, but the only association I have with it, is my grandparents' mane coon cat. It's not that bad until you find out they named him Asa because it stands for Another Stupid Animal :P
That's hilarious!
I still like the name. :)

I prefer Ava.
I would name a boy Asa, not a girl.
(Love Ava on a girl.)

I really like Asa a lot. It has a handsome masculine strength to it. It's not too popular, in fact I rarely hear it.
My mother has always liked this name and I like it's simplistic spelling but strong sound. The meaning is nice and the Biblical associations are good ones and actually royal ones! :)
The one time I met a guy named Asa the image I had was not spoiled. The Asa I met was a server at a pizza place who was punctual and joked with my church youth group and generously put up with our large dine-in order. He was fairly thin, tall, dark hair and fairly good looking.
I really like Asa and it is featured outside my top ten favorites and paired with names such as Benjamin, Luke, and Jasper.

I like it. It's on my long list. It's short, spunky, unusual and biblical- and it has an awesome nn, Ace. Whats not to love?
It's all right, I haven't warmed to it but that's because I haven't really thought about it before. It has the potential to grow on me so we'll see.
First association - Asa Briggs the English historian. Very well respected by the looks of it and his books are readable. So that's a positive association for me.

I love this name, and met a boy at the skateboard park (when I took my sons to skate) named Asa!
Sometimes when I see the name, I don't know if it's ace-uh or ah-suh though!
I'd totally use this name, though, if I had the chance!

The elementary school in my area is called Asa Adams School, so whenever I hear this name I think of that.
I definitely like it. I find it quite handsome. The only associations I have with it are a female (what is that?) book character who was obsessed with popularity and a kid who my brother was friends with in middle school who fell in with the wrong crowd in high school. So really my associations are personal not overreaching.
