Today I got another email asking me how I pronounce my name so I thought it would be a good time to turn this blog to the personal for a second.
Asa is pronounced a few ways. I like two of them. The first is a long "A" then "suh" like the word "such" without the "ch". The second is "Ace" like the ace of spades and then "uh" like, well, like "uh" :-) In neither of these pronunciation does the "s" have a "z" sound, though I have heard it said that way before.
Asa is a Hebrew name meaning healer or physician. Asa was the third king of Judah. He was a righteous king who corrected the iniquities of his forebears. He ruled for thirty-nine years.
My parents are not Jewish, I think they just liked the name.
Also, I'm a guy. I'm 31 in June. I live in California.
