Asa
I’ve been thinking a lot about Asa lately. It always felt like a name I should like but I never did, but it seems to be growing on me. What do you think? If you feel like it, what middle name(s) would you use?Thanks! :)

Asa is great. Handsome and strong, yet approachable and soft too. I wouldn’t use it myself, as there are other male names I prefer, but it is a cool, more unusual choice.

Asa is one of my favorite male names. I just think it's handsome and antiquated, in a good way. I had an ancestor named Asa, and he was very good looking in his picture. He fought for the Union in the Civil War.My favorite combo today is...Asa Thaddeus Wilder. I think it's cool.

Oh, that wasn't my relative's name, his name was Asa Charles. Sorry for the confusion. :)

Asa Thaddeus is soooo cool! Wilder is not my thing, though the combo does flow.

I prefer Asa on a girl (as in the Swedish name). It's off-beat and spunky. On a boy (as in the Hebrew name) it is fine, has a slightly musty old-man vibe though imo.Asa Solveig

I don’t really consider Asa and Åse / Åsa the same name but I appreciate the creativity in your combinations! I like Romilly and Maialen :)

I don't like it, and spelling and pronouciation issues

Not the best-known biblical character, so I'd assume that anyone named Asa had really, really seriously religious parents who didn't mind that the first two letters sound close to 'arse', especially in dialects that are R-light.

I pronounce Asa as AY-sa, how are you saying it? AH-sa?

I can't really say I like it, but there's something nice about it. I have a work friend named Asa, who is Mennonite, and he's very nice (also EXTREMELY easy on the eyes.) That might have something to do with it. It's one of the more uncommon Bible names, so seems more fitting with his background, though his own family don't all have Bible names; his kids are Shayla, Trista, Alex and Anthony.
