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 🙂 ---

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] [name\_f]Mariah[/name\_f] [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] [name\_f]Louisa[/name\_f] [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] [name\_f]Francesca[/name\_f] [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] [name\_f]Carolina[/name\_f] [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] [name\_f]Mae[/name\_f] [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] [name\_f]Jade[/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]Morwenna[/name\_f] [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] [name\_f]Felicity[/name\_f] [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] [name\_f]Elsa[/name\_f] [instead of [name\_f]Elspeth[/name\_f]] [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] [name\_f]Linnea[/name\_f] [instead of [name\_f]Poppy[/name\_f]] ---

Whenever I think of [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] I always think of the main character in Ask The Passengers by A.S. [name\_m]King[/name\_m]. I pretty much loved the name after reading that book. As for middles, I would suggest something ending with an A or an E sound. [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] [name\_f]Leona[/name\_f] [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] [name\_u]Harper[/name\_u] [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] [name\_f]Althea[/name\_f] [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] [name\_f]Elaine[/name\_f] [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] [name\_f]Genevieve[/name\_f] [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] [name\_f]Florence[/name\_f] [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] [name\_f]Clementine[/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. ---

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]Jemima[/name\_f] ~ divinely beautiful dove [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] [name\_f]Soraya[/name\_f] ~ divinely beautiful princess [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 [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] [name\_f]Isadora[/name\_f] ~ divinely beautiful gift of [name\_f]Isis[/name\_f] [name\_f]Astrid[/name\_f] [name\_f]Maren[/name\_f] ~ divinely beautiful sea : ) ---
