A brother for Astrid

Ok, no idea if DC2 is a boy yet but I literally have no idea what we'd call a boy. None. We don't agree on anything. Any ideas on what goes well with Astrid? Girls names also welcome but less critical.

I know two Astrids, with brothers called Daniel and Thor.

Arabella, DP would love Thor, big name for small baby though.

I think Thor goes well, not a big name for baby

I jut can't imagine yelling Thor in the playground....my personal favourite was Arlo, but DP hates it. Based on shuttles, this on us likely to be a boy, a nameless one!

I think Thor is a little preposterous, although my DH would also love it :o

Felix?

Astrid is such a beautiful name.

Somebody on MN the other day was saying they had decided to call their son Zephyr. I think that's a really awesome name.

Thank you Join! Felix is lovely, but makes me think of cats?

I personally think Thor and Astrid comes across as a bit 'themed' somehow.

I think Raff is a fab boys name and would go well with Astrid. Perhaps Rafferty.

Warning to Otto. Love Axel, but Axel Rose? Great suggestions guys, so helpful!

I know of an Astrid and Magnus.

JoinYourPlayfellows · 04/11/2013 20:08

Raff/Raph should be Raphael.

dyslexicdespot · 04/11/2013 20:12

Axel Rose is a thing of the past! If you like Ottoman you might also like Olle and Ola.
