Love it, there is one at DD's nursery and DS1 has a bit of a crush on Astrid from How to Train Your Dragon!

I'm not sure. It makes me think of the word 'astringent' Confused

On the plus side, I like that it's strong & a bit quirky.

I named my dd3 Astrid, always get loads of compliments about her name.

I’ve met a couple of baby Astrid’s. Both have Swedish parents. Super cute.

Love it. A very strong name.

I love it, one of my favourite names

Really lovely. It wouldn't be something I'd name my child as I'm a little more traditional and totally not cool enough but I think it's unique, interesting and lovely!

Lovely!
