Hi, I am still really undecided on this name. Thoughts please 😄

I love it

riotlady · 11/11/2020 21:21

Love it and would have used it but the office has ruined it a bit

pinkpinecone · 11/11/2020 21:23

Used to like it but unfortunately I just hear As turd now.

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 11/11/2020 21:43

Too Swedish for my liking.

BenWyattsLowCalCalzoneZone · 11/11/2020 21:46

My favourite girl's name. I wanted to call all 3 of my boys Astrid 🙄

NeedToKnow101 · 11/11/2020 21:49

First thoughts love it.

alexdgr8 · 11/11/2020 21:51

sounds like a cartoon character.

missmouse101 · 11/11/2020 22:00

Sounds like an inanimate object. Reminds me of triffid.

Fishfingersandwichplease · 11/11/2020 22:17

Not a fan although l know a little girl called Astrid and she is adorable

OhMsBeliever · 11/11/2020 22:27

Love it! It was on my list but I had boys.

MondeoFan · 11/11/2020 22:34

I like it a lot. I think it does depend on the surname but I do really like it.

For example
Astrid England - awful

Astrid Reed - fine
Astrid Smith - fine

Grobagsforever · 11/11/2020 22:36

I have an Astrid! She's a quarter Swedish, Swedish MIL was very happy with the choice.

I absolutely love the name and feel proud introducing her. She loves her name too.

MercyBodle · 11/11/2020 22:56

This name has grown on me. I like it and find it strong - which is good!

LittleGwyneth · 12/11/2020 15:39

I love it but I think it's the next Luna.

@Wornout12108

I love it, however I cannot hear the name And not think of the episode of the US Office where Michael reads the name As As-turd, it was a brilliant episode. It's a beautiful name just reminds me of that episode.
LOL I thought the same thing, but I guess the US Office isn't that popular in the UK so it should be fine.
Antonin · 12/11/2020 17:38

I love it. Strong but elegant and easy to pronounce and spell

Ourbedislisting · 12/11/2020 19:09

Love it

newnewnewbuild · 12/11/2020 19:11

I love it, I've always liked it since I first heard it a few years ago but after watching Crazy Rich Asians I love it!

seriousandloyal · 12/11/2020 19:14

Beautiful name.

YouAndMeAndTheDevilMakesThree · 12/11/2020 19:17

I love it, DP vetoed it sadly Sad

MustardMitt · 12/11/2020 19:44

I love Astrid. It's unusual and strong. I also really love Avril which has a similar sound.

MikeUniformMike · 12/11/2020 19:50

Avril is awful.
Ingrid is nice.

MustardMitt · 13/11/2020 23:14

@MikeUniformMike

Avril is awful. Ingrid is nice.
Ingrid is horrible! Grin
mocktail · 13/11/2020 23:17

I like it. I've never met an Astrid.

lobsteroll · 13/11/2020 23:20

@Rocococo one of mine was also delivered by an Astrid - she was fab. Wonder if it was the same one 🤣

Love the name, pretty yet punchy. I think it's a lovely strong girls name.
