We’ve explored some similar names. Trying to avoid “ch” names and don’t love the name Asher (looking for something less “in” or popular. But love the meaning of “blessed” or gracious.

Nadav has a slightly different meaning, but might be more accepted.

Adin may also work. Or Noam.

I also like Noam.
There is also Meir (gives light / enlightens), or Yair.

If you want Yiddish:
Zelig often goes together with Asher
Bunim is said to be from the French: bon homme meaning "good man"

Not to derail but I love the sound and meaning of Nadav, but in the Bible isn't he known for messing up and getting thrown into the fire? Are there other Nadavs that people have in mind when they use the name?

I have a distant cousin named Nadav after his grandfather. I've never asked about any further history/associations with the name.
