Thoughts on this name? DH not a fan but I LOVE it! It sounds strong and feminine. I like the Scandinavian connection to. Interested to hear other thoughts on the name, and if you know any Astrid’s, what her siblings are called?

DH annoyingly thinks the name sounds like ‘asteroid’ Hmm

I think it's a great name!

I think its a gorgeous name and its on our list!!

Ylvamoon · 02/12/2017 23:10

It's a lovely name... not sure what Astrid siblings should be called...

Maybe something like Sven or Stefan for a boy, Lilo or Vera for a girl? ?

I love it! I wanted it but DH vetoed it ... He's German and he thinks it's a middle aged ladies name there, like Linda or Margaret would be here. But I think it's fab.

BearFoxBear · 02/12/2017 23:21

I love it! Got to have a good surname with it though, our very Scottish one would not have worked with it Grin

Know two lovely ladies called Astrid and Ingrid. Lovely names

FizzyGreenWater · 03/12/2017 07:40

I do like it but in reality think it's very harsh. Prefer Ingrid and especially Sigrid. Which are no less harsh but somehow sound it to me!

MammieBear · 03/12/2017 07:41

Lovely name with a lovely meaning.

Chocolatecake12 · 03/12/2017 08:42

I know a beautiful Astrid
Sister called Imogen. Both lovely girls.

BrizzleDrizzle · 03/12/2017 08:43

I love it.

ChocolateCrunch · 03/12/2017 08:45

Lovely name. Don't know any, but would imagine they'd have siblings called Jakob, Anders, Inge or Annika

userabcname · 03/12/2017 08:55

I like it. I know a little Astrid and her sister is Antigone.

PeasAndHarmony · 03/12/2017 09:04

It's a great name! I'm huge fan of Scandinavian names.

PeasAndHarmony · 03/12/2017 09:05

I think Annaliese would be a great name for a sister too!

bluebird3 · 03/12/2017 09:08

I can't think of it without thinking of The Office -US version. Someone names their baby that and everyone gets confused and calls her As-tird so it sounds like Ass-turd. Ruined the name for me.

daisypond · 03/12/2017 10:19

I don't like it. It feels like a "dress up and pretend we're Scandinavian" name - unless you are Scandinavian, of course - or a Disney name.

MomToWedThorFriday · 03/12/2017 10:32

Astrid is beautiful 💕 I know one whose sibling is Matilda.

Kenworthington · 03/12/2017 10:34

Love it!

MikeUniformMike · 03/12/2017 12:31

Love it.

AfterSchoolWorry · 03/12/2017 12:44

Love it, it's a very nice sound.
