DH says no. Growl. What do you all think...? Middle name likely to be Bethany.
Thanks x

You people who don't pronounce r's on the ends of things spoil everything Grin. I wouldn't have thought Aster and Asta were homophones. But then, it's an accent thing isn't it.

I like it as a name. Strong name for a girl, but still lovely.

crazybutterflylady · 17/01/2011 15:27

Other shortlisted names are Tabitha, Luella, Martha and Anya - all quite strong names.

I am really starting to love Aster!

Anya and Aster are my favourites from your choices.

Asa is a Scandinavian girls name. That is nice too imo.

There seem to be a few Martha and Anya's about at the moment - but they are lovely names.
How about Alida - similarish sounding, but not too many about. I think it might be spanish or italian

PlanetLizard · 17/01/2011 16:32

I like Aster :)

Not keen on Tabitha, Luella or Martha. Anya is OK.

crazybutterflylady · 17/01/2011 16:34

Yes that's why we are looking for other names maisie, I love Maisie as well btw! I want something a bit individual but easy to say.

Alida reminds me of Vileda... :)

I think its fabulous!

She will love it, and have the flower on her wall.

PS. I know a girl called Asher, if that helps at all

Aster (a flower) is lovely and nicer than Astor, which is a different name altogether.

There's also Avery, Aven, Arden, Aphra, Afton, Ailsa..

It's Astor and it's gorgeous.
