What do you think of the name [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]? I like it alot, but the same time it´s a little bit harsh? So i can´t decide if the name fits my girl.
It’s okay, but I think she’d get an unfortunate nickname in school and get teased a lot.
I went to school with an [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] so it has tainted the name slightly for me. She wore it well though and didn’t have any nicknames, just [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]. I like the astrological connections and it fells like a dreamy name that has pretty solid groundings. If you love it I say go for it!
I think it’s pretty but I’ve never actually thought about the negative nickname potential as the other poster mentioned… I love it on a grown woman though… maybe a middle name?
I love it. I think it’s strong and spunky sounding. It got knocked off our list thought because hubby thinks it is “too harsh sounding”. I kind of understand, but I think the energy of the name is big and bold. I’d use it.
I adore that name, infact it’s my number one girl choice for baby number 2 if it’s a girl. I love the meaning and the origin of it and it’s so strong. I don’t agree with the mean nickname thing, I don’t think kids these days really do that anymore, I may be wrong but kids these days are more clever when it comes to teasing and the mean nickname you could potentially get from [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] is not clever at all. Kids these days could literally figure out a mean nickname from almost every name out there, so I wouldn’t let that alone deter you from the name.
I think it is strong and pretty
I really like [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]. It is one of the rare names that is both ethereal and strong. It’s celestial, beautiful, and makes a great choice.
I think of the joke in the Office every time I hear/see it, when they mistake the name for something not so nice (I won’t say it here because I’d rather not get reported). I think kids potentially would turn it into that mean nickname pretty quickly. However, I do really like it, I think it’s strong and pretty.
