Astrid - love it

Willow. Definitely.

Astrid makes me think of The American Office when Michael mistakes the name for Asturd - never been able to think of it normally since then.

Willow for me - I've always liked it (since the eponymous film in the 80s.) I like Astrid too, but Willow beats it for me (despite its popularity).

Astrid.

Tough one as both are great names, however they do sound like totally different people. Astrid is assertive and go-getter, Willow is more gentle and go-with-the-flow.
Astrid.

Willow is beautiful.

Agree with pp so says Astrid reminds them of the office. Used to love this name until Ass-turd ruined it!

Rubybluesy · 16/11/2020 00:39

Neither?

Willow

Willow!

Astrid!

I do like both but I'd choose Astrid Smile

Looks like a pretty even split in answers so far!

Willow! So beautiful yet strong.

Willow

I like both but Willow has a nice sound and makes me think of nature.

Starryskiesinthesky · 16/11/2020 07:25

Astrid - sounds classy whereas Willow sounds earthy!

Astrid. It is a name for a strong independent woman. Willow seems wishy washy to me.

RomillyTheRabbit · 16/11/2020 12:52

Willow for me.

Aside from the unfortunate Astrid / Ass turd ep of The Office US, the sound of Astrid just reminds me of slightly unpleasant / not pretty words. Turgid and Castor (as in oil) for example. I knew one growing up and never loved the name.

All that said^^, I met a little Astrid fairly recently and didn't think anything of it. Wouldn't raise an eyebrow at it, I just don't like it myself.

RomillyTheRabbit · 16/11/2020 12:53

Also gastric
