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?

I've definitely heard of both, and I think both have Hebrew origins. Sadly, my only experience with Asa was through TV. My mother watched ABC's soap operas all the time when I was young, and one of the characters on All My Children, One Life to Live, or General Hospital (I forget which) was Asa. I might consider Ira for a middle name. Asa, not so much.
