Astrid

[MangoFrosting]

My husband and I both really like this name. My hesitation is that people might pick up on the 'ass' sound in it, particularly kids at school. I also recently found out the german word "arschtritt" which means 'kick up the backside' and sounds almost identical when said out loud 🙈 I don't think that would affect her really but it's giving me pause. Am I overthinking?

I knew an Astrid when I was growing up and never thought of "ass".

Though perhaps it's something that once you've heard it you can't un-hear it.

Is it actually pronounced ass-trid - isn't it ash-trid?

I love it, it was firmly on my list for both DDs, now planning on using it for a dog when DH eventually allows us to get one 🤭

Love that name.
It's not pronounced AAstrid rather asTRID, so I can't see how ass comes to mind.

Go for it! I wish I’d have chosen it for my daughter but my husband wasn’t keen sadly.
