ClementFreudsGreatestAdmirer · 10/01/2009 23:48

i love astrid. love it. freida less so. juliet is great. ingrid has bad association for me so i don't count.

Tinker · 10/01/2009 23:24

Love them all. Astrid is cool, really cool.

Mammina · 10/01/2009 23:24

Like Frieda ad Astrid the best

piscesmoon · 10/01/2009 23:06

I would agree that Frieda is better than Freda (dire IMO)but no one will know how it is spelt.

Leo9 · 10/01/2009 23:03

Ingrid or Astrid are beautiful names. Freya too common now, and not so pretty IMO!!!

piscesmoon · 10/01/2009 22:36

I think Freya is much prettier.

RiaParkinson · 10/01/2009 22:11

I know a divine and very beautiful 9 month old Frieda

SoLongMarianne · 10/01/2009 22:05

Like Astrid.
Ingrid not bad
Juliet not bad
Not Frieda for me.

Heated · 10/01/2009 21:55

Ingrid or Juliet too.

LaDiDaDi · 10/01/2009 21:54

Ingrid or Juliet

PaddingtonBore · 10/01/2009 21:53

love Ingrid
and Astrid
Frieda ok

Juliet - a bit wet really

thisisyesterday · 10/01/2009 21:52

oooh Frieda and Astrid are both on my girl's list for this baby!!!

EachPeachPearMum · 10/01/2009 21:50

Astrid is fabulous!
I like Ingrid too...
and Greta, Margot, Beatrix.

piscesmoon · 10/01/2009 15:21

Juliet is lovely.
Being half Swedish makes Frieda and Ingrid OK.
I really dislike Astrid.

LoveMyLapTop · 10/01/2009 15:20

Like Astrid the best
sounds space age to me
but I am odd!¬

27 · 10/01/2009 15:20

I like them all. Maybe Freida a bit less than the others.

francagoestohollywood · 10/01/2009 15:09

And Martha.

francagoestohollywood · 10/01/2009 15:06

I like Astrid, Frida and Greta.

SwedesInACape · 10/01/2009 14:53

I think they are all lovely.

Mathilda is lovely too.

EldonAve · 10/01/2009 14:52

Astrid
Don't like Frieda myself

LiffeyOink · 10/01/2009 14:51

As you're half Swedish, Heidi, Olga, Frieda, Ingrid, Greta... that kind of NOrthern European name would all sit well in your family. Still not keen on Astrid the seal

MrsMattie · 10/01/2009 14:51

Yuck to all except Juliet, which is beautiful.

LiffeyOink · 10/01/2009 14:49

I love Juliet.

Astrid and Ingrid are a bit try-hard cooler, but I don't dislike Ingrid. They are strong names. I like names like Margot and Frieda though. Astrid makes me think of a seal though.

So, in this order

Juliet
Frieda
Ingrid
Astrid

Merrylegs · 10/01/2009 14:45

Astrid.

Love it. So cool.
If I were ever to have another DD, it would def be my choice (or Talulah!)
