I don't know anyone with this name, but I saw it in a baby book and it jumped out at me. Do you think it is too different? I like that it means happiness.
I LOVE that name Asher! It's a biblical name (one of Jacob's 12 sons) but it isn't super common like some others (Daniel, Jacob, Adam, etc.)
In case you are curious, there are some other interesting names from Jacob's 12 sons (which became the 12 tribes of Israel): Reuben, Simeon/Simon, Levi, Dan, Naphtali/Naftali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin.
It's funny how some of these are such common names (Joseph, Benjamin) when others are so out there (I can't imagine naming a kid Zebulun!)
LMS is so helpful w/ "It doesn't sound like a name".
uhh-- It's one of the earliest names in the Bible. It's definitely a name.
I LOVE IT!

What is your problem?? ?She asked for thoughts and I told her what I thought. I've never met anyone named Asher so it doesn't sound like a name to me.?

I like it...I had it on my list a little while ago.

The first thing I thought of was an ascher cut diamond. I like the name...it sounds very English artistocrat to me which might or might not be something you like!
I've never been a fan of this one mainly b/c I don't care for boy names that start with Ash (Ashton, Ashley, etc..). If you are going for the uncommon biblical approach then I guess it is just "okay". Personally, I think there are better biblical names you could choose. I also think that depending upon what your last name is, that could make a difference. I know a kid who is named Asher Sachs and to me it sounds like A$$ Sacks - just sayin'
Re: Thoughts on Asher?
It's Jewish. And AWESOME.
I have a cousin named Asher and he's *wicked* smart. I have good associations. His middle name is Deva - also Jewish.
Also, there's My Name Is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok, which is a *very* good story.
I love it! It is traditional but not over used, love the way it sounds.

i LOVE this name and it will likely be the name of my future son (assuming i ever have a son, LOL)!
i like it b/c it's biblical, has a great meaning and is different/uncommon without being weird or sounding made up.

Yes, Jonas's best friend. He was such a sweet guy in the book. I love the name Asher although it took time to grow on me.

That's exactly what I thought of when I saw Asher. It's one of my favorite books. I like Asher.
