I love the name Astrid and Clementine is ok.

Yet, somehow, the two together made my mind immediately think 'household product'. The combination sounds like something to clean the bathroom.

Sorry OP! Grin I do like the two separately.

Ooh I love it! Would only use it with a fairly short surname though as it'd be a bit of a mouthful otherwise

Sounds a bit like a cleaning fluid. Nice names separately, but a bit much together.

Hmm actually I was thinking about it more and the name that sounds strongest in my mind is the Clementine.....so maybe I wouldn't have that combination as it detracts from the Astrid , which is lovely

Well the middle name is negotiable......trust me I have many MANY other options [obsessed emoticon]

Agree with the above - both beautiful names, I nearly used Astrid myself - but just too much together!

Two of my favourite girls' names so it's a big YES from me!

Astrid is a fantastic name.

Clementine with Astrid is just too much.

Agree- like both but dont think they fit very well. I would use a classic 1/2 syllable name after astrid eg Clare, Mary

Hmmm yes, I can see what the other posters mean actually. Astrid is lovely, in my opinion, and Clementine is pleasant enough, but for me, they just don't quite work together.

From your later post, I would avoid the long and/or more 'flowery' ones and go for one of the simpler ones...Rose or Tessa for example. PPs suggestions of Clare or Mary also very nice with Astrid.

I actually really like Astrid Florence :)

Both names are lovely. Together... I think it's a bit bonkers, but could work on the right child!

KatherinaMinola · 07/02/2014 16:49

From your second list... You're mixing genres/derivations. You need a vaguely Germanic/Scandi name (or -sounding name) to go with Astrid, I think, rather than Greek/French etc.

Something like Astrid Hanne.

Marie-Astrid sounds pretty, with a more French sounding "Marie" if you catch my drift. Astrid is a super pretty name Smile

I think I'm starting to warm to Astrid Florence or Astrid Violet!

Dh likes it!

Ds is just after saying that sounds like asteroid god that's the worse name you ever came up with Hmm

Astrid is nice, but Clementine just makes me think of oranges.
