Middle name help

We are thinking of using Astrid as our girls name, can anyone suggest a middle name to go with it? Our surname is a quite traditional two syllable name.
Thanks.

I think a short name would suit to follow Astrid, like Kate or Grace (just examples not actual suggestions) followed by your two syllable surname. Other people may suggest differently tho.

I think something with a Scandinavian feel would work well.

Thanks, a few of these are on our list already, Eve, Emily,Emilie, Olivia so they might be an option. Dh thinks it should be a long name and I think a short one!

I think all the potential middle names you have would go well, and I think names beginning with a vowel roll off the tongue better with Astrid.

If you like Emily/Emilie have you considered Emilia? Just to break up the two syllables...
