Asher Sky sounds like azure sky.

I agree. Asher Sky definitely sounds like "azure sky." I am expecting a boy in March and plan to name him Asher Lowell. It doesn't bother me that Asher sounds somewhat like "azure" (I sometimes even refer to him as my "little boy blue!"), but I definitely wouldn't pair the name with Sky just to avoid making the similarity to "azure" so obvious. I love the name Asher, though! Good luck.

I love Asher Ethan. Definitely a much better combination than all the "s" middle names on your last poll. Perfect name!

I really disagree with the poll results. I think people voted for Ethan just because they like the name better than Sky, because Asher Ethan does not flow well or blend well at all. it doesn't sound right together to me at all.

Asher Sky sounds OK, but it's just too odd of a name.

here are some that I think have a good flow: Asher Nicholas, Asher Benjamin, Asher Dominic, Asher Nathaniel, Asher Scott, Asher Michael, Asher Douglas.

good luck

Asher is a great name. I have only heard it once before & I think it was on a movie, but I can't remember which one.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. We really love the name Asher but are having a really hard time coming up with a good middle name that works with our last name. We also like to look into the meanings of the names before just randomly picking them too. Asher means fortunate & happy so it should be easy coming up with a name that works with that but still we are stuck.

Asher Ethan means "happy to be heard" - which we kind of chuckle at...are we headed for a little chatterbox with that name?

Asher Scott means "happy to be Scottish" - although it sounds good we are not Scottish ;)

Asher Sky means "happy to have lofty ideals??" - not sure but we liked the sound of it

Asher Nathanael means "fortunate gift of god" - we love this name but we are sort of saving Nathanael for our next little boy (assuming we have another little boy)

My husband is Russian Jewish and a Philosopher. I am not Jewish but I am very supportive of his beliefs and ideals. He is very spiritual as am I so I guess this is why we are putting so much stock into a baby name. I am Danish/Irish and would like to incorporate some of my heritage into the name too. Do you guys have any suggestions now that you have a little more info about us? I really appreciate the suggestions so far :)

Thank You Everyone for your help!!

By the way...if we have a little girl we are going to name her Elana Sophia which means "ray of wisdom"

My son's name is Ethan and I find the name Ethan to be too strong of a name to be a middle name. I think the first name should be more bold than the middle name.

Asher Alexander
Asher Isaiah

Hmmm, it is a tough name to match a middle name to. I think these one's flow....

Good luck...I might need your opinion sometime soon ;)
