Hmm...I don't hate it. The puns below are quite funny, but I really like this name, especially the meaning. I can totally see "ash tree" in this name now...
I like this name in Norwegian, and it's perfectly fine to use if you live in Norway. Though it may be challenging when the kid gets older as the world is a lot more globalised than it used to be. And it will probably continue getting even more globalised. But maybe combine it with a middle name that works better in English, so the kid can choose to use that instead when needed.
Ask is such a weird name to have. I don’t hate it, but I wouldn’t use it. A lot of word names as human names make me want to laugh, they just sound silly. I wouldn’t suggest you name your kids this. They’re going to be set up for lifetime teasing about them being named after a question. The meaning doesn’t even make sense to me.
I don't really like this name since it's a verb:), but if you were going to name your kid this I might pronounce it so it doesn't sound like it looks. If you like this name I would name it that and not care about what people think... Good Luck:)
