My third was supposed to be a girl called Astrid. I love the name.
He turned out to be a boy.

After I’d had him and I started saying the name out loud more when talking to people about what he was going to be called if he was a girl, I actually found that I hated saying the name Astrid. I don’t like how it feels when I say it. It makes my mouth feel a little contorted.

So my advice would be to keep saying the names out loud before you commit.

I still love the name Astrid when I read it or hear it said by someone else.

Cindi is my least favourite, it might be better spelt Cindy, but it reminds me too much of Sindy dolls, it's like calling a kid Barbie.

I like Esme.

Cynthia is ok - nice alternative could be Celia, or I also love Lydia.

Don't love Astrid.

Definitely Astrid. Not a big fan of Cynthia/Cindi and Esme is becoming really overdone.

LobsterCrab · 05/07/2023 08:20

Esme but I wouldn't bother with the accent - no one will use it anyway!
