Yes, we actually have a lot of reasons, probably too many haha. My primary concern is pronunciation. The name is supposed to be pronounced AH-shah, and I fully expect a bunch of people saying ASH-ah (like the tree), which would annoy me to no end. It's a slight concern of my husband's as well. He mostly doesn't want to do a direct naming because she's still alive, and he feels weird about it, which is fair.
We also both want longer names so there's more options for nicknames.(We both have short names and no nicknames :/ )
