hey- Maybe someone on here can clear this up for me. I met an older lady who has two sons named Ira and Asa. I'm having a tough time with these LOL. I really dislike both. I've seen Asa before, and always on boys???. It just dosn't seem like a boys name, although I would not like it for a girl, either. and Ira I've never heard of. Anyone?

They're both legit male names. I don't hear Ira a ton on young kids, it's a bit of an 'older' name to me. I know someone who's about 20 named Asa, but it's also pretty uncommon. I do see where Asa seems a little more feminine, but I like it on boys just fine.

The lady is in her 80's and her sons in their 40's. Her name is Harriet.

Ira seems like it would definitely fit more with someone in their 40s, yeah.
