I love Asherah, spelled Ashera. I really can't stand Montserrat. It looks far too masculine and is difficult to place on a child.Out of your combos, I like Asherah Madeline and Asherah Vivian the best. I would suggest Madeleine if you're looking for that pronunciation, which happens to be my preferred pronunciation as well. For a nickname, I would use Asha, Ash, Shera, or Era.Asherah Lior

Asherah Sarai
Asherah Pauline
Asherah Lynette

Asherah Christine

But the LEINE at the end of Madeleine makes it pronounced MAD-uh-linn with a short I. I prefer the MAD-uh-line because it has the long I. Leine sounds whiny to me.

Uh, no . . .Madeleine and Madeline can both be pronounced either MAD-uh-lin or MAD-uh-lien (lien = the same as the word "line"). The 'e' in Madeleine doesn't change the pronunciation. Check the list of pronunciations in the database, the "line" (lien) pronunciation is right there.

Right, it doesn't, but from my experience, people are more likely to pronounce Madeleine with the long "i" than they are to pronounce Madeline that way.
