Going to the American dictionary at dictionary dot com ...
It's the safe way to explain this thing.
redneck
1. an uneducated white farm laborer, especially from the South.
2. a bigot or reactionary, especially from the rural working class.
rube
an unsophisticated person from a rural area; hick.
hick
an unsophisticated, boorish, and provincial person; rube.
For whatever it's worth, I have a similar association with Amos.
Asa does sound rural South to me too, but antiquated - I don't think I'd think of it if I met a child Asa.

You were helpful !!!
Everywhere there are some prejudices like this.
Also in Italy if you hear names such Addolorata or somenthing like this you can imagine a stereotype of Southern-Italian person.

I mean, to be fair, the parents DO live in rural Wisconsin, which is a help of a lot more redneck than anyone gives us credit for...
