What do you think of the name [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]?
Any middle name suggestions?

[name_m]Just[/name_m] for reference, so far I have:
– [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Corrine[/name_f] (thanks to the lovely tori101 for this suggestion!)
– [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Tamsin[/name_f]
– [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]
– [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
But they don’t have to be anything like these. I like all sorts of names

Thanks :slight_smile:

I love [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]. It was right at the top of my list for DD2 who is due in [name_f]September[/name_f] but we have settled on something else. Of your choices I like [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Corrine[/name_f] the best. You also have [name_f]Liana[/name_f] in your signature, and that sounds nice - [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Liana[/name_f]

[name_m]How[/name_m] about:
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Camilla[/name_f]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]

[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] is lovely. I would use a mn with a less abrupt ending. Eg. a or ie.

[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] [instead of [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]]

[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] has always made me think of asteroid, which isn’t bad - it gives it quite a celestial feeling to me! I prefer the Scandinavian pronunciation in all honesty, it’s so much softer than it’s said in English. It’s still a great name though. I love [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Corinne[/name_f] and [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]. Maybe…
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Finola[/name_f]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Catriona[/name_f]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Lilias[/name_f]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]

I have a friend named [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Silvana[/name_f]–lovely combo I think.

Hmm…
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] is a lovely Nordic classic, I also love the meaning as well ‘divinely beautiful’ it’s gorgeous.

I think when choosing a middle name for [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] you should continue the meaning like with [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Corinne[/name_f] (divinely beautiful maiden) it just completes the combination and feels effortless.

Suggestions:
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] ~ divinely beautiful forest
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Chiara[/name_f] ~ divinely beautiful light
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Noor[/name_f] ~ divinely beautiful light
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] ~ divinely beautiful dove

[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Zara[/name_f] ~ divinely beautiful princess
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f] ~ divinely beautiful flower
