It's the name of a nymph in Greek mythology(pronounced differently)

It's the name of an Oceanid in Greek mythology.

I don't mind it but it's a bit downmarket where I live.

I like both on boys

Oh, I think it's lovely and exotic. I believe that there was a character in Greek mythology named Asia, so it's a revival of a very old name.

I love the sound of it. I doubt I'd use it but it's pretty and has exotic connotations. A bit of a gp I suppose. I also love the sound of Cheyanne but would never use it. I like the "sh" sound in names.

Asia is ridiculous.

Well, according to this site it is a real name, albeit a diminutive and with a different pronunciation than the continent. I guess you can pull it off if you live in Poland but I hate these place names (Asia, India, Ireland, China, etc.). I could bet most people that name their children after one of these places haven't even been there.

I find it odd, too "geographical"

Not a fan

I really dislike both Asia and Cheyenne. Asia just seems so *sigh* TRENDY, along with every other place-name-as-name... Madison, Brooklyn, London, Ireland, China, Africa, Paris, Roma, America, Montana, etc. Just plain old annoying after a while.

What about Asa? Ada?

I like it. I've heard it before and I've always liked it. It has a soft, feminine sound and a pretty look to it.

It does sound pretty but at the same time it's very trashy and weird. I mean I have several friends from Asia (South Korea, China and Japan) and they couldn't stop laughing when I told them people used it as a name. It is kind of weird being named after a whole continent.

Asia and Cheyenne? Yuck. Very foo-foo and cliche.
