Neither?

Willow is beautiful.

Agree with pp so says Astrid reminds them of the office. Used to love this name until Ass-turd ruined it!

Astrid

Tough one as both are great names, however they do sound like totally different people. Astrid is assertive and go-getter, Willow is more gentle and go-with-the-flow.
Astrid.

Astrid.

Willow for me - I've always liked it (since the eponymous film in the 80s.) I like Astrid too, but Willow beats it for me (despite its popularity).

LooneyLovefood · 15/11/2020 22:48

Willow. Definitely.

Astrid makes me think of The American Office when Michael mistakes the name for Asturd - never been able to think of it normally since then.

BirdsDoIt · 15/11/2020 22:40

Astrid - love it

Still Willow

Merename · 15/11/2020 22:38

Astrid. Love it. Strong and interesting, Willow sounds a bit wimpy to me.

Willow. Astrid is so ugly sounding.

Astrid.

(And, asteroids are cool! Every word sounds like other words.)

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 15/11/2020 22:30

Willow.

Asteroid. That’s why. Answered my own question

RunFromMyScytheAndMyMerkin · 15/11/2020 22:29

Willow.
Astrid makes me think of space and rockets. 🤨 and has “ass” in front. And written looks like astride

Willow, I don't like Astrid, sorry.

porridgeface · 15/11/2020 22:09

I love Astrid, it was our choice for a girl :0)

Astrid is lovely.

Imagine introducing yourself with each name - which do you prefer? I would rather be called Astrid.
