I like this name very much. It is strong, sensitive, sensible, and handsome. Also, I like that it is biblical. I would definitely name a boy "Asa".

I wouldn't use this. It looks hard to pronounce and someone with this name might be called "ass". Plus, it sounds more like the name of an old man than a young boy.

The "Å" in Åsa is pronounced like the "A" in "all".

-- Ylva  1/30/2006

No, the Å-sound is longer than the O-sound in shop. Like "au" in Paul.
