Asha?
(Pronounced AH-shah) What do you think of it?The names I was going for were Åse or Åsa (pronounced the same), but I stumbled across this which would definitely make more sense to English speakers. (Plus the spelling doesn't remind me of a naughty word)

I like Asha but more as a mn than a fn. I think it's pretty and I love the meanings.

I love Asha, but I only like it pronounced AY-sha. Which doesn't really follow the rules of the English language, but since none of the more "logical" spellings of that prn. do it for me (Aisha = eye-EE-sha for me, Aysha = like written diarrhea, Aesha = see Aysha), Asha it is. I could do Asha pronounced ASH-ah, but AH-shah sounds on the pretentious side to me. It's not some flaw with the name itself--just the fact that where I live, AH sounds tend to be eschewed most of the time. I cringe when I meet a JuliAHna (though I would anyway, since the pretension is inherent in that case).So Asha AH-shah doesn't do it for me, but it's not a bad name in itself.Array
