Asha is quite well known in Australia pronounced Ash-ah is an indian name meaning wish, hope desire but could be used as a more feminine spelling of the biblical Asher. Both the Asha and Asher spelling chart in Victoria Asha is at 106 with 47 born and Asher is at 195 with 26 born. Why am I classing the two together because most Australians say Asha and Asher the same as I explained in another post earlier in the week we say our er’s as Ah’s. Asha is a name that could gain popularity as the similar Ashley and Ashton fall out of favour though it looks like Asha is going that way while Asher is currently rising for boys.

Apart from sounding the same, Asha and Asher have similarly lucky meanings with Asher in the Bible translated as “happy, fortunate, blessed”.
I know they are both lovely names.
On another note do you think Angus, Taylah and Jacinta count as uniquely Australian
Yes! Also Bridie.
Bridie seems to be falling out of favour and never shows up on the NSW data but I know its been used.
Fair enough – it’s probably not popular enough to count.
I’ve looked many times trying to find ones to use I was so impressed when Jacinta, Taylah and Angus came to me last night. so I have four more I could use Jai and Tahlia but they’ve been covered many times already
