Re: Asher or Judah

  • I like them both, but I've heard of way more Judahs lately, so I vote for Asher

  • Loading the player...
  • Neither

    but if I HAD to pick one it'd be Judah. 

    What about Jason or Jared? Maybe?

  • Wow, I HATE Judah, it reminds me of Buddha.

    Asher is cute though.

  • I think Judah is a great name, though to me it is more of a Jewish name. NTTAWWT, as long as that suits you. For myself, I wouldn't give a flying fluck if I liked the name (which I do, it just doesn't go with our last name).

    Similar names: Jonah, Joshua, Jacob

  • I like both of them but have a soft spot for Asher because I knew a great kid (now a teenager) with that name.  It would top my boy name list except it really doesn't work with our last name.
    DD born 10/10/07 * DS born 11/25/11 * #3 due 3/9/2015
  • Asher.


              TTC 17 months, Dx: MFI (morph = 1,) Endo. Surprise BFP after HSG!
  • Oooh, tough bc I love them both. I think Judah is less popular though, so I'd probably lean toward that.

  • Ooh, both great names! I'm going to give the edge to Judah though as it has stood the test of time in that I see Asher as relatively new.

    So are Jonah, Jacob, and Joshua. Many, many names are Biblical/Hebrew in origin. However, with the name Judah it's more apparent, IMO.

    I'm not a huge fan of Judah, but I absolutely hate Asher. So Judah by default.
  • I think Judah is horrible.  Asher is NMS, much either but it gets my vote if it is between the two.

    Just throwing Josiah in there, too.

     

    I like Asher, though.

    Loooooove both. DD would have been Judah if a boy. Probably depends on your last name as they have very different sounds.
  • Asher!

  • Judah reminds me Judas... I don't get the appeal.  Asher by a long shot.

    Judah!





  • LOVE Judah! It would be one of the top names on my list if we ever have a boy.
  • Judah

    I don't care for Ash- or Grey- names, they just seem so dull and dreary to me.

  • I really like Judah, not a big fan of Asher. Makes me think of reindeer (which I know doesn't really make sense, but it does!)
