Thoughts on this name? DH not a fan but I LOVE it! It sounds strong and feminine. I like the Scandinavian connection to. Interested to hear other thoughts on the name, and if you know any Astrid’s, what her siblings are called?

DH annoyingly thinks the name sounds like ‘asteroid’ Hmm

Lovely name with a lovely meaning.

I do like it but in reality think it's very harsh. Prefer Ingrid and especially Sigrid. Which are no less harsh but somehow sound it to me!

Know two lovely ladies called Astrid and Ingrid. Lovely names

I love it! Got to have a good surname with it though, our very Scottish one would not have worked with it Grin

I love it! I wanted it but DH vetoed it ... He's German and he thinks it's a middle aged ladies name there, like Linda or Margaret would be here. But I think it's fab.

It's a lovely name... not sure what Astrid siblings should be called...

Maybe something like Sven or Stefan for a boy, Lilo or Vera for a girl? ?
