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?

The first 'Ira' I knew was Eira and she was a girl so I've always found Ira a little feminine but I also always knew it was a male Jewish name - just not a boy's name I'd ever use.

I actually like Asa (and think Ace is a cute nickname) but I think you need to be a certain type of guy to pull it off. I think it's one of those names that would either suit a person really well or not suit them at all.
