Help[Opinions] Asher vs. Aser
I'm trying to decide on a name for a character. They have the same meaning but Asher is Hebrew origin while Aser is Biblical Latin/Greek. I use mostly Latin names for my story, so I'm leaning towards Aser, but I'm worried about it sounding... less than tasteful. Or should I go with a different name entirely? The most important things are origin and being able to use the nn Ash. Thoughts are greatly appreciated and desperately needed.

Is it “ASS-er”, “AY-ser”, “AY-zer” or “AZZ-er”? The fact that there are so many possibilities makes it difficult for a written medium. Unless you’re going to include how to pronounce it within the story (like Rowling felt she had to do with the name Hermione), I’d use something more intuitive.

Pronunciation
It would be "AH-zer" or at least that's how I've been pronouncing it. I definitely agree that the possibilities make it difficult, which is a shame since the name looks good on paper. I might just go with Asher and sacrifice the Latin origin. Thank you for the input.
