Willow

Astrid is beautiful

Pipandmum · 15/11/2020 21:36

I like Willow.

Astrid

Willow is a beautiful name. I love the symbolism - a tree with branches which bend but never break, so a name associated with qualities such as flexibility and resilience. A similar name which you may also like is Willoughby.

I'm not keen on Astrid - it sounds too hard. I don't like the 'As-' beginning. I also worry it will date quickly, as it seems like a bit of an 'on-trend' name.

Willow

Willow.

Astrid

I feel Willow is a bit of a "joke" name don't know why. It's not a real name

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 15/11/2020 22:06

Astrid. I would worry Willow might not grow up very willowy. I can't imagine a solidly built preteen would appreciate the name.

August20 · 15/11/2020 22:08

Astrid is lovely.

Imagine introducing yourself with each name - which do you prefer? I would rather be called Astrid.

porridgeface · 15/11/2020 22:09

I love Astrid, it was our choice for a girl :0)

bearfood · 15/11/2020 22:20

Willow, I don't like Astrid, sorry.

Willow.
Astrid makes me think of space and rockets. 🤨 and has “ass” in front. And written looks like astride

RunFromMyScytheAndMyMerkin · 15/11/2020 22:29

Asteroid. That’s why. Answered my own question

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 15/11/2020 22:30

Willow.

longwigglylines · 15/11/2020 22:31

Astrid.

(And, asteroids are cool! Every word sounds like other words.)

missmouse101 · 15/11/2020 22:34

Willow. Astrid is so ugly sounding.

Merename · 15/11/2020 22:38

Astrid. Love it. Strong and interesting, Willow sounds a bit wimpy to me.

Rae34 · 15/11/2020 22:39

Still Willow
