Astrid or Phoebe?

[feb1982]

Please help! Our beautiful DD arrived almost 2 weeks ago and we named her Astrid Phoebe Rose. We're now wondering if we got the names the wrong way around and she is more of a Phoebe than an Astrid. But is this the sleep deprivation talking? We love both names and just can't decide! Generally we've had very positive reactions to her name (although I know that my family prefer the name Phoebe).

Have you been in a similar situation? If so how did you make up your mind! Grateful for any thoughts on each name too.

@feb1982 Thanks for updating! I love the name Astrid.

If dh prefers Astrid and you like it then stick with it. Family will get used to it even if they prefer Phoebe.

Personally I prefer Phoebe but i grew up in Scandinavia and really dislike how Astrid gets said in English the name itself is gorgeous.

Astrid is lovely

Thanks @DurdleSnore , we're really pleased that we held our nerve!

Love astrid
Hate phoebe

Phoebe is 100 times better - although I do have one so am slightly biased but I love it. Astrid to me sounds quite hard

Ah, good update. I love Astrid, reminds me of stars and vikings.
Never been keen on Phoebe... it sounds weedy, and like a nickname -Feeby.
