Bad associations with Asa?

I love the name [name_u]Asa[/name_u]! However I brought it up to SO and he has informed me that there’s apparently a very very well known female porn star named [name_u]Asa[/name_u]. Does anyone else know this association? Is it unusable for a boy? Would he be made fun of?

Well I don’t watch porn so I wouldn’t know that association. My guess is kids would have no clue about this star and by the time teenagers are starting to look at porn, there will be new stars…so its a question of how much does it bother your husband

It’s not an association I’m familiar with, however she is listed on wikipedia’s page for [name_u]Asa[/name_u]: Asa (name) - Wikipedia

I don’t think it makes the name unusable for a child nor do I think it will cause teasing. She is one association and will be forgotten about in a few years time.

I’m not familiar with the association.

[name_u]Asa[/name_u] is #490 on the US popularity charts, so it’s decently used as a name. I think if this [name_u]Asa[/name_u] was as well known as your husband says, that number would be much lower.

I’m not familiar with this association at all. Never heard of that person. My first thought was actually the king of the same name in the Bible.

This is exactly what my husband said when I told him I loved [name_u]Asa[/name_u]! He wouldn’t even consider it :frowning:

I had never heard of her, but she must be pretty well-known internationally if both of our husbands have, I guess. I’m not sure I want to know how they know!

I have not heard of this association before – but yes, I think it matters more what your husband thinks of it. My only encounters with the name have been through the actor [name_u]Asa[/name_u] Butterfield and a guy I know personally (who is also really nice and a talented actor) so I don’t get any negative vibes from the name at all! I think it’s quite handsome.

I’ve never heard of her. [name_u]Asa[/name_u] makes me think of [name_u]Asa[/name_u] Butterfield.

I had no clue about that association. My first thought was the biblical king, though I do know a woman who used it for her little girl. Personally, I think it is a great name and your [name_u]Asa[/name_u] [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] combo is handsome! However, if all your husband would think of would be the porn star, then maybe it may have to be shelved :confused:

No.

I think of the actor [name_u]Asa[/name_u] Butterfield.

I mean how much porn does your husband watch if he knows them by name?

It really depends if this association will be harmful or disturbing for your Husband.
I have never heard of the pornstar and neither has my DH. That being said I haven’t been looking at porn in about 5 years so idk what new names are out there. Coming from a very bad background I would find the porn association triggering that being said… the porn industry changes quite often I doubt she will be in the industry for so long that your son will grow up and see her or that she will become as famous as a regular actor. [name_u]Asa[/name_u] has also got some very creditable non-porn associations that are much stronger in the ‘normal’ lives of people.

Sorry if this was confusing, trying to be helpful without sharing the intimate details of my life.
PLEASE [name_m]DON[/name_m]'T QUOTE ME - [name_m]Just[/name_m] in case I want to remove some points later on #scaredof talkingaboutmylife XD

Considering the fact that there are plenty of porn stars with well known names like [name_u]Madison[/name_u], [name_f]Gracie[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], etc. and no one cares, I don’t think it’s a big deal.

I love [name_u]Asa[/name_u]! I also think of [name_u]Asa[/name_u] Butterfield and I’ve never heard of the porn star.

Like others said the kid will never know but if it bothers DH. This is why [name_f]Nina[/name_f] is unusable for me lol

To me the name just sounds like [name_m]ACE[/name_m].
