Malin or Astrid

[Sayshesheshe]

Despite choosing not to find out the sex of our baby, we called it he all through the pregnancy.

She’s now here and incredible but nameless. We’ve narrowed it down to two and really are 50/50 on both Malin and Astrid. My only thought is that Malin may have nicer nicknames. We’d butcher the Scandi pronunciation and it would be maaaahhlin with a long A.

Astrid is a classic name, so beautiful. Definitely gets my vote!

I prefer Astrid.

Malin is also sweet.

Do you like ..

Aster - a floral name, softer than Astrid.

Astrid

Astrid is loads better. Malin is too fishy.

What do you think the "Scandi" pronunciation is?

Maybe I'm biased but I know a Malin and she's one of the best people I know so I'd choose that! Astrid is nice too though

Astrid is my favourite girl’s name ever! 💝

Malin is lovely if you're a Swede. If not she will spend her time as an adult explaining it.

Astrid

Astrid

Astrid all the way ladies!
"It is derived from the Old Norse words ass meaning god, and frdr meaning beautiful or fair. Therefore, Astrid can be interpreted to mean Beautiful God or Divinely Beautiful. This name has ancient roots and has been used by Scandinavian families for centuries."
The meaning is wonderful! 👑💗

We’ve gone for Astrid and I love it, it suits the best baby in the world perfectly 😄
