| Sounds and looks a bit like the Asian beer Asahi. |

| Not bad. Not my favorite, but not bad. She'd probably have to spell it for everyone her whole life, but it's easily pronounceable. |

| I think it's a pretty name. Sounds like a name for an adorable girl. Don't stone me, but depending on the child's race, it may not fit culturally. |

| Nice name but mean girls and boys could be brutal to her with it, if you know what I mean. |

| I am as WASPy as it gets and I think its a very pretty name. Very, very sweet and lovely, especially if its is reflective of her heritage. |

Mean girls and boys will almost always find something... I think it's pretty and not any more grist for the mean kid mill than anything else. |

| Asha means hope in Hindi. Ashi is to asha what Katy is to Kate. A cute derivative that is. Not a very common name in India anymore - just a little old fashioned. |

Have you tried spelling it, out loud?
A-S-S-etc... Not a good idea. |

OOOOPs... Need a better glasses prescription, I think. I see it's A-A-S... Sorry! I do like how it sounds, btw. |

DH is Indian and he says Asha means Hope, Desire and Aashi means the one who desires, the one who hopes. (it's our aunt's name  )
I think it's cute. Our kids have Indian first names and Christian middle names. I like Priya a lot and Pryianka but it didn't make the final cut for our next child
