Need a middle name for Asher
| Wed, 03-29-2006 - 8:39am |
Hello,
We're expecting baby #4 in about three weeks. We've pretty much settled on Asher as a first name - after my husband's great-grandfather. I was surprised to see the popularity of Asher on these boards - I only knew it from the family tree.
We're having a hard time with middle names. Here are some options. The "M" in Miller would honor my late-mother (we're Jewish and it's custom to choose names of departed relatives). I like Truman/Tru because my older kids have named this baby Truman in utero...
Asher Tate
Asher Truman
Asher Tru
Asher Quinn
Asher Miller

I choose Tate or Quinn, but if you could find a one syllable M name I'd probably choose that. I like the idea of honoring your mom. I just think a one syllable name that ends solidly with a consonant sound works better with Asher.
Ideas:
Asher Mills
Asher Miles
I agree that a one-syllable mn would work great. The ones you have listed are fine, and if you want to honor your mother with an M mn perhaps a one-syllable one would work better (I don't care for the flow of Asher Miller because of the identical -er endings). Mark, Miles/Myles or even Mills, for example. I also like Asher Jude.

From your picks -
I like:
Asher Truman
Asher Quinn
Asher Miller
Thanks so much everyone!
I had actually considered Mills - my dh doesn't like it. I also like Marc, but he doesn't like that either...
Asher Tate- like this a lot
Asher Truman- very distinguished sounding
Asher Tru- prefer Truman
Asher Quinn- I think you can do better. It just doesn't sound right
Asher Miller- doesn't flow well with the same ending
From your list, I really like Asher Tate and Asher Truman. From my own ideas, I think Asher Nathaniel and Asher Elijah sound nice.
