Astrid!
I am biased though,my 11 year old daughter's name. Grin

Definitely prefer Celeste

Both great. Astrid is cool, I think. In my mind, it should be for a blonde child.

Astrid is awful, so harsh and sounds like you are trying too hard to trendy. It really is ugly.

Celeste is not much better to be honest.

glitterjo · 02/09/2010 12:47

ooh Astrid is number one on my list, I love it! I knew a lovely Astrid a while back, she was Swedish and crazy and very nice. Her sister was Imogen. They were both incredibly beautiful too.

Atlasive · 17/08/2010 18:49

Celeste is lovely (also like Cecilia).

I don't like Astrid at all, it sounds harsh as others have said. Prefer Estelle or Aurora.

GladioliBuckets · 16/08/2010 09:22

Astrid has a cool Scandinavian classiness. Also like Ingrid.

proudfoot · 15/08/2010 22:05

Astrid

foreverastudent · 15/08/2010 20:48

astrid- it sounds stronger

hoolies · 15/08/2010 20:00

Neither are really to my taste, but if I had to choose I'd say Astrid.

Ok, thanks for all your thoughts - Celeste is edging it slighty, but I fear I don't have the accent to carry off Celeste! I think it may have to be Astrid...(or Nova).

What PurVida said!
I want a fourth child just to use it up!

Celeste is Babar's wife anyway.

ESL, I am choosing to read that as Jim Morrison would while singing "The End".Grin

Astrid all the way. Celeste is always going to be an elephant for me. I don't think you have to have any Scandinavian blood to carry off Astrid (or Ingrid). It's quite an international name.

sedgiebaby · 13/08/2010 17:35

Celeste, even more Celestine (DH is french speaking and this is on our list)

EatSleepLove · 13/08/2010 17:15

Celeste is the best
