My husband and I both really like this name. My hesitation is that people might pick up on the 'ass' sound in it, particularly kids at school. I also recently found out the german word "arschtritt" which means 'kick up the backside' and sounds almost identical when said out loud 🙈 I don't think that would affect her really but it's giving me pause. Am I overthinking?

No it’s a lovely a name! (and much better than the ones that get suggested on here normally).

Go for it.

You’re overthinking Smile Astrid is moderately popular and still rising sharply, so clearly the name is useable. I like Astrid.

Its a really lovely name, and the name of one of the characters from How To Train Your Dragon. 😊

Definitely overthinking. It’s a lovely name, I really can’t see the ass sound being a problem. It’s common enough to not be a problem. Go for it 😊
