5 Reasons Asher could crack the top 100 in 2007

I’ve been keeping my eye on Asher lately. I think there’s a good chance this name will crack the U.S. top 100 soon — possibly even on the upcoming 2007 list. Why? A few reasons…

  1. It’s got a promising trajectory:
    • 2006 – 252nd
    • 2005 – 288th
    • 2004 – 335th
    • 2003 – 411th
    • 2002 – 483rd
    • 2001 – 529th
    • 2000 – 579th
    • 1999 – 601st
    • 1998 – 686th
    • 1997 – 728th
  2. It’s got a great definition. It was derived from a Hebrew word meaning “happy” or “blessing.”
  3. Other “Ash-” names (e.g., Ashley, Ashton, Ashlyn) are currently popular.
  4. It’s Biblical, which is a big plus for many people.
  5. It seems to be everywhere lately. I know several babies with the name, and I’ve heard about many more (via parents who write to me).

What do you think, is Asher up-and-coming? Do you think it’s a good name?
