I adore the name Asher... I have since I was a young teen and read a book with a character named Asher. When I learned that it meant "happy" I began to love it even more and has been on top of my list for almost 10 years. I was curious, and thought I'd share with you other names that  mean "Happy" (from behindthename.com)

Bolded are the ones I think are ok. I had to laugh at the suggestion of "Happy" itself, but I'm sure there would be at least one person out there with that name!

My son is Asher and I loved the name before I found out the meaning, but the meaning just made me love it even more!

I read a book (the Giver) with a character named Asher and I liked it too.

Ah, one of my favorites. I'm actually reading Gathering Blue (the companion book) right now!

I like Asher as well! It isn't in my top 10, but I do think it's a very nice name.

'Gay'...hah, that never fails to make me happy ;)

By the way...how about Felicia and Allegra? I believe those mean 'happy' or 'happiness' as well =)

I like Dilshad, for some reason.
