Astrid

[mamasunshine]

Honest opinions on this name for a girl please. I love it, but feel it does sound a bit 'harsh' for a baby, much better for an older child/woman. Or are my hormones getting the better of me??!!

Love, love, love it.

Ok, you're all making me really want to use Astrid now!! My mother will just have to keep quiet about not liking at! (as if!)

thumbs up. good name.

i really like Astrid!

oh...totally totally love it, but am not allowed it. I have a similar name, and my DD-to-be something similarly Germanic/Scandinavian, but AStrid would have been my own choice!

Love it. Thinking of the beautiful and talented Astrid Ulverton (sp?) from Jane Beaton's excellent 'Rules'.

Jane Beaton has written modern day boarding school stories (for those that don't know).

Astrid is based upon Enid Blyton's Irene from the Mallory Towers series.
