I don’t see anything wrong with the name [name]Asher[/name]–if someone likes the name, they should be able to use it. I do like the biblical history behind the name!

haha, well you’re probably going to be singing it for quite awhile, [name]Asher[/name] is on the top of all the up and coming name lists that I’ve seen :slight_smile:

It was a joke. I don’t really have a problem with the name other than the song getting stuck in my head.

I thought it was funny, if that helps. :wink:

LOL, that is unfortunate for you! I can’t think of how that song goes. But I’m not going to listen to it because then I think I’ll always get it stuck in my head!

I’m glad it was a joke…but too bad about the song going through your head so much!

I’m sorry you take offense!
My second sons name is [name]Asher[/name]!
That’s sort of the reason I chose it. I had no idea what I was planning to name him, and my husband took me to the musical, and I fell in love with the name [name]Asher[/name], because of it’s meaning (blessed and happy) and the song…
But we call him [name]Ash[/name] :wink:

Sorry to get it stuck in your head!
