On my birth certificate it is spelled Ashia and it annoys me TO NO END that my mom spelled it like that. I always just spell it Asia and have since about 5th grade because I got so sick of it. I've never bothered to legally change my name because the only time people pronounce it wrong is at the doctors office and things like that. At all of my jobs I told them my name was Asia and at college I am registered at "Asia." It's just on legal documents I have to use the Ashia spelling. Don't use a funky spelling, please!
