I grew up in NYC and live here now, 30 years old. I knew one kid with this name in my grade when I was in middle or HS. He may have been jewish but I don’t know. I do not like the name much

I like it. I think there was a soap opera character in the 80s by that name, and that's what it calls to mind for me, but that association won't affect your child's generation.

I had a couple of Asa’s back on my family tree on the Appalachian side. They had brothers with names like Happy and Everett. I’m glad to see it’s gone mainstream.

Concerns are pronunciation and that it is feminine. I know 2 boys given this name; 1 is a Jewish teenager, 1 a biracial 5 year old.
DCUM hive thoughts?
Leo is so cute! Not crazy about Asa. How about David, Benjamin?

Asa is, from what I know, a girls name. In central Asia.

Big love to King Asa, but all the Asas I grew up with were called “Ass-a” by mean kids or “Asia” by substitute teachers. I would find something else. What about Ari or Levi?

I very strongly dislike this name. While I recognize it as a male name, there is nothing masculine about it, it's not cute, and the mean nickname potential is really high. And with a brother named Leo? Asa will wonder why you hate him.

So, your son is going to live here in the U.S? Not in Scandinavia or Isreal? And you are a native English speaker? And you did not think about a handy nick name kids will use?
