Do you think the name Asher clashes with our surname?

[jshores]

I think Asher Stayner is a bit of a mouthful. It's not terrible, but I think there are many other options out there that would flow much better. I love Theo and Samuel is great too.

Some other name you may like:
Owen
Jenson
Harrison
Sawyer
Bennett
Sayer
Callen
Jonah / Jonas
Tobiah / Tobias

I love Asher. I don't think it clashes with your last name at all.
If it really does bother you I like Theo from your list as well. Levi, although not on your list, is a cute name as well.
Since Asher is the name you truly love, I would go with Asher.
Best of luck to you!! Congratulations Xx

I am not a fan of the double -er. It makes me feel a little tounge-tied when I say it.

I saw that you said your favorite is Blake David. Is David the set middle name?

I like (in order):
Theo David Stanyer
Blake David Stanyer
Cameron David Stanyer (but again with the double ER)

I'd axe Samuel because I think it also runs into Stanyer. They Sam and Stan sounds are way to similar in my opinion.

I think that if you really like/love this name then you should use it. The flow of a name is important, but is it more important than going with a name that you love? Asher Stanyer sounds totally fine to me and Asher is such a cute name!

It's not terrible but I think Blake Stanyer sounds amazing! He sounds like a friend of Clark Kent..

I think Asher Stanyer sound gorgeous <3 If you're really concerned, I would use Blake ... but honestly, Asher is perfect

Me and my partner read through all of the replies together this morning and we would just like to say thanks again for all the help. I think we have with your help narrowed the names down to either Asher or Blake. I think we will wait until baby arrives before we choose one for them. For any that are interested I will post back with the name we chose once the little one is here

I do think it's a little rhyme-y.

I really love the combo, Blake Stanyer, and Theo Stanyer looks good too.

I think it's not only the "er" ending that's repetitive, but also the sound of the "a" in Asher and Stanyer. No way would I use the two together--it would be especially tricky for foreigners to say should your son someday travel. I'd go with Blake, which is a really good balance of sounds. Or Theo.

any of the others you have on your list would work well i think. maybe use asher as a middle name?
