Help[Opinions] Re: Asta
in reply to a message by A
Middle name: LaVista "la-VEE-sta" ...
It sounds just like hasta meaning "until" in Spanish to me. Once upon a time in my youth in California, non-Spanish-speaking youth started to say "hasta la vista" instead of "goodbye" and, since many didn't understand the phrase, it got shortened to just "hasta." So when I hear Asta ... I just hear "goodbye".
That's unfortunate because I like the idea of it. It seems like a neat name. Count me in favor. I just won't be adding it to my own list.
I also kind of like Esta (even though I hate Esther pretty fervidly).
