Which one do you like better and why? Does [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] immediately remind you of The Office, or can be misheard as ostrich and ashtray? Does [name_f]Hilda[/name_f] feel negative, or sounds old and ugly, reminding you of unpleasant kind of characters?
I like both of these names but there are negative associations to both of them which I am not sure if are just simply stupid and I should get over or if I should actually take into consideration.
I would love any other suggestions of Scandinavian names that are easy to pronounce in multiple countries. Thank you so much!
For me [name_f]Hilda[/name_f] feels dated she has a similar vibe to [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] for me itâs the wrong kind of clunky the name doesnât appeal. I prefer [name_f]Helena[/name_f] which has a similar sound but is prettier in my eyes.
I think [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] definitely works she feels fashionable and whimsical. I think [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] can definitely work and I donât associate the name with anything negative. I think [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] is a sweet choice.
Have you thought of [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]? I think [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] is gorgeous and fits the bill.
I like [name_f]Helena[/name_f] and considered it as well, but I didnât like that everybody pronounces it completely different. I thought it was automatically Heh-leh-nah but several pronounces it Heh-lay-nah or Heh-lee-nah.
Astrid, I definitely agree with you in that it is whimsical, such a stunning name that I feel gets a lot of unwarranted distaste and jokes.
I do love [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] as well, I actually liked [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] more than [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] at first but then a flip switched in me. I will reconsider again though. Thank you so much for sharing so much of your opinion!
I love [name_f]Hilda[/name_f]! Itâs sweet, old-fashioned, and intuitive. It feels ready for a comeback. [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] isnât as appealing to me, but it has plenty of great qualities.
I love these names!
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f], to me, is very light. I could see it on a young girl just as well as a professional.
[name_f]Hilda[/name_f] is due for a comeback in my opinion. It reminds me more of [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] than it does [name_f]Helga[/name_f]. Plus I love âHilly.â
Other names: [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f], [name_f]Sonja[/name_f], [name_f]Martha[/name_f], [name_f]Maud[/name_f], [name_f]Augusta[/name_f]
I adore [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] and donât think it would be mistaken for either of those words. Itâs strong and spunky whereas to me [name_f]Hilda[/name_f] is dated and somewhat frumpy. Thatâs just me though; itâs a perfectly decent name. I love [name_f]Tilda[/name_f] as an alternative.
Hilda does feel a little dated, but I love her anyway!
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] is very pretty, I like it alot. I think of How to Train Your Dragon though!
Thank you so much! I am glad both names are loved. I agree that [name_f]Hilda[/name_f] is definitely more like [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] than [name_f]Helga[/name_f], would love to see it around more
Thank you for the other name suggestions! They are all lovely
Thank you so much for sharing your opinion! I am glad that you donât mistaken [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] for those words, I thought I was the only one! I see comments on the name here and there about it being easily mistaken for other weird words or just constantly reminding them about the silly Office episode.
[name_f]Tilda[/name_f] is very pretty too!
Astrid is a beautiful name! I have never watched The Office so I would never associate [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] with it. [name_f]Hilda[/name_f] is lovely as well, I think it definitely deserves more love. It has a softer sound, which I like. Some other names you might consider are [name_f]Hedwig[/name_f], [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f], and [name_f]Marta[/name_f]. As others above me have said, I think [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] is also a lovely choice.
I like both names. I think theyâd both work in 2020.
Astrid- I like the name, but a book I read once had a character with this name and was called a$s turd and ever since Iâve kind of remembered that when I hear the name. I do actually like it, despite that connotation. (I hope Iâm not violating any community guidelines here, but I know [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] does have some harsh nicknames that could come about unfortunately)
Hilda- I also like this name. It kind of reminds me of [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], but a lot less popular. I feel like it might lend itself better to nicknames than [name_f]Astrid[/name_f], but I think both are pretty fashionable choices for 2020.
I prefer [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] to [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] (donât like the âassâ sound at the beginning ). A good tweak on [name_f]Hilda[/name_f] is [name_f]Tilda[/name_f]. I find it has the same vibe and rhythm but fits a wider range of personalities than [name_f]Hilda[/name_f].
