it's a chick - what d'yall think of Astrid Ursula?

[minouminou]

Yeah, so, 20 weeks scan today, and it's a dudette.
We had Astrid picked out from last time (but had a boy), and were so keen, it wasn't up for debate this time.
The only thing we had to decide was a middle name, and we're keen on Ursula. Double-barrelled surname, 1st half scando, 2nd half welsh.
Opinions if you please. Many thanks.

I like it

Depends on how many syllables in your surname. If that has 2+ syllables then the middle name should ideally have 1 and I agree, it needs to have a story behind it as children love to know their name has a special meaning within the family. Personally I'm not keen on Ursula - it's the name of the wicked queen in Disney's Mermaid film and Disney is a stayer!!

i love astrid, not so keen on ursula. like the idea of a welsh middle name - there are lots of lovely choices there.

congrats btw

nope don't like either

don't like either of them, both ugly names imo

Babybaby123- yeah- my Astrid is ugly as sin- check my profile

Really like Astrid but not keen on Ursula

How about Eleri as a middle name?

Congratulations on your wee girl.

I like both names although I think that they are a bit of a mouthful together. I love Urban, btw.

Sorry, but having a SOH failure, your joke about Bader-Meinhof chic is slightly offensive.

thanks for the suggestions of welsh names, but i'm not a huge fan, and neither is DP
his surname is welsh, but not in-yer-face welsh, IYSWIM, and he's actually from hampshire.
ursula's on the back burner for now, and we'll have a rethink
i do like it, though

Astrid Margot
Astrid Greta
Astrid Inga
Astrid Ilsa
Astrid Annika
Astrid Cecilia
Astrid Elise
Astrid Lucia
Astrid Hanna
Astrid Eleanor
Astrid Madeleine
Astrid Charlotte

To be honest, I'd go for something really ordinary, but quite feminine- Astrid is a very strong name, quite unusual in UK and she may wish to use her middle name when she's older (that was our reasoning anyway )

Astrid Marie?

Love Astrid BTW

I don't think it matters that they don't "go" together. How often are the names said together anyway?

baby123 not a fan of Women in Love i take it?
