Recently came across this variant of Astrid. As a fan of E-names and liking Astrid despite the ass- sound at the start but ultimately unwilling to use because of that, I think I much prefer this version. Thoughts?

Ha. I’d never considered that... but I’ve probably got that association now 😂.

Wow I absolutely love it. Definitely getting Norse/Viking vibes.

For some reason Estrid feels a bit... medical?

I think you’re probably right. Maybe more of a middle.

I agree with the previous poster I would assume it was a typo of Astrid. I think she would get that reaction constantly ans it would quickly become incredibly frustrating.

I don’t think I would’ve liked it if it was a modern variant, but I came across it when researching Norse history for a book. It may even be the original! However, I agree that despite provenance Astrid is the version best known now, so this variant may appear as an off the wall modern take even though it’s not, with the problems around correcting etc as you say.

I love Astrid. Estrid looks like a misspelling and she will spend her life correcting. Plus the sound isn’t as pretty to me. The ass sound in Astrid would never have occurred to me. I know an Astrid.
