Asher is a silly name because it is from the name Ashley. As a child, we used to play ring-around-the-rosie and when it said "ashes ashes... we all fell down!" we used to say, "Asher, Asher, we all fell down!" It wasn't to be mean, we just had fun and loved how cool the name sounds.
My son is Asher... he's a happy boy and all the girls at school love his name as do I.
It could also be a modern form of the Old English name "Æschere".
Asher comes from the word "ashar."
