I really think some things here need explanation. Firstly, no one in Poland would name their child Asia. It's always Joanna. "-sia" is typical ending for pet forms of girls' names in Poland. So there's Joasia and then Asia.
Also, the pronunciation isn't similar to the word "Asia" (meaning continent) in English. So I fail to see a problem here.
