Please help! Our beautiful DD arrived almost 2 weeks ago and we named her Astrid Phoebe Rose. We're now wondering if we got the names the wrong way around and she is more of a Phoebe than an Astrid. But is this the sleep deprivation talking? We love both names and just can't decide! Generally we've had very positive reactions to her name (although I know that my family prefer the name Phoebe).

Have you been in a similar situation? If so how did you make up your mind! Grateful for any thoughts on each name too.

Phoebe Astrid flows better/sounds nicer to my ear; both are lovely names though, so you can’t go wrong either way!

Perhaps practice saying both names directly to your new DD indifferent ways? E.g. whispering, conversationally, calling out (like on a playground) and one might feel like it suits her more than the other?

Another vote for Astrid! Astrid Rose is an excellent name.

Astrid Phoebe Rose flows much better, and Astrid is an amazing name.
