my husband and i will find out if we're pregnant soon, but we've already gotten excited about names.
we don't agree on any girl names but we both like the same boy names
we like
Asher and Oscar
we told my parents and they laughed, they said those are dumb names and they feel sorry for our future boys.
are they really that bad?!

They're not that bad. They are not my favorites, but I don't see anything wrong with them. I've learned that once you find a name you like, don't tell anyone what you are naming the child until he is born. Otherwise everyone will tell you it's terrible and try to make you change your mind.

I like Asher, I think of Oscar the grouch when I see Oscar but it's not bad, if you are looking for girls names my name is spelled Megan but it is pronounced Megan with a long e. I am 27 and it has taken some time to get everyone at work to call me by the correct name. I am glad my parents chose an uncommon name!

Well, unless Oscar has some kind of family history, I personally wouldn't name my son that. But if it's a name that you really like, then go for it. I think Asher is a really nice name for a boy. If you have a girl you could name her Azure. It kinda matches the one you already have picked out for the boy. I wish you the best. If my youngest had been a girl, I had the name Autumn Cheyenne picked out. I told this to my mother-in-law and all she had to say was "well, I am glad he turned out to be a boy then" Family sometimes don't think about what they say before it comes out of their mouths. Don't take it personally when they don't like a name you have picked out. Name your child whatever you want to. They will get used to it after a while (and they will get over it too) LOL

I like Asher best of the two but I think the are both alright names. Not too common so why not. Did your parents want you to help fill the world with the same old names....which some are great but are there not way too many Jennifer, Elizabeth, Emily, Jacob, Robert, and Aidens out there???

NOT ASHER! Take a look... It seems most (if not all) guys here don't like the name. If your Asher is a boy, he probably won't like it either, and may get teased. It sounds too feminine and trendy.
Oscar isn't too bad, but it's not a very strong name. Personally, I have bad associations with it, and then there's Oscar the Grouch, and Oscar Meyer Weiners. My son's name is Jackson Jory Matteo (don't like Jory -- but it is wife's ancestors). Also like Albert, Henry, and Samuel.

Asher is adorable. However, my first introduction to the name Oscar was as a toddler watching Oscar the Grouch! unfortunately, I've always associated that name with grouchiness!

Asher's not bad at all. But for Oscar, I imagine a kid with one of those rainbow helecopter hats that gets laughed at and teased. I would rethink the name Oscar. On the other hand, again, I think Asher is a good name.

Asher is nice. Oscar will probably makes kids think of Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street.
Regardless, they are your children and you can name them what you want. People always have an opinion on baby names.

I don't think they're bad at all. I think whatever you want to name your children is up to you. Asher is adorable and Oscar is cute too. Hope you get the results you want<3
