Nickname for Astrid

[Emily22]

We have a four month old girl called Astrid. We took a while to choose her name but really love it now (although are aware it’s quite a ‘marmite’ choice!). However, it seems quite a grown up name for a baby and we’re struggling to come up with any good nicknames that stick. I usually think that nicknames shouldn’t be forced but I’d be interested to hear any suggestions. Thank you!

It’s a beautiful name, I love it. I don’t think a nickname is needed, just call her by her name!

She doesn't need a nickname. Astrid is lovely

Astrid is one of my favourite names 🥰 didn’t get my way with that one though! Don’t shorten it! Just call her cutesy things until she gets older, I call one of my DD “dinks” because she’s dinky.

I probably wouldn’t nickname either, but I could imagine saying Trudy - sort of working off the “Trid” sound?

The traditional swedish nickname for Astrid is Sassa which I think is lovely

Asta or Attie?

Gorgeous name!! I agree, I don't think it needs a nickname.

I also wouldn't force a diminutive. My DC's pet names are nothing like their actual name and only used by close family. Like Titch and that kind of thing.

Ooh Sassa is lovely!

Astrid is absolutely beautiful but one of the reasons I didn't use it is because I sort of knew I'd end up saying 'Ast' and that doesn't sound great shouted across the park 😆

Trixie?

Doesn't need a diminutive does it? It's only 2 syllables and very pretty.

Reminds me of The Office "Astird" though 😊

I don’t think it needs a nickname- I mostly call my child things like monkey and pickle anyway, it doesn’t need to be based on their name

Star - I think Astrid originally comes from the Greek Astra, and was taken up by the Norse countries...but I could be wrong!

Trinny/Trini?

I love Sassa. Tris also comes to mind.

Nickname Buzz, after one of the astridnaut who walked on the moon?

None of my dc nicknames are anything to do with their names.

Astrid is gorgeous

my aunt uses Asi

The Astrid I know is As so the first sound without the trid if that makes sense

Really?????

Gorgeous on its own. I love Sassa though.

Ooh I haven't heard that since there was an Astrid in my class when I was about 10.

we called her a mixture if Astrid/As (more of a hiss sound)

Star is cute, but if you do, be aware it'll be a name others use too and you may not get anyone calling her Astrid. But if you call her pumpkin/stinky bum, others will still call her Astrid and eventually school friends will probably call her a mix of Astrid As... or something completely random!!😂😂

if you say it softly (azzz trid) rather than AS TRID), I don't think it's 'too much' for a baby/toddler.

My neighbour's DD is Ri ri from Astrid

I know an Astrid who goes by Ari.

Also love Sassa.

Also love Astrid!

Dd's friend was Astrid at primary school then Trids, Ids or Iddy
