I love both names, but NOT NOT NOT as a sibset. They're just one sound away from being the same name!

---

Anna, Sofia, Freya, Annika, Tova, and Linnea are my favorite norse names. I also like Mikael for boys.

I adore Astrid, and Ingrid is okay, but as a sibset I am reminded of White Oleander (in which the mother is Ingrid and the daughter is Astrid).

I love both Astrid (it's on my top 5) and Ingrid and they are NOT too similar. You can definitely use them as a sibset imo. Since I'm from Sweden I have some problems with many of the names you suggested. Most of them are only names that old men and women have. Axel is very popular and I know someone named Gunnar, Niklas, Ylva, Leif, Mikael, Annika, Lars (very common) och Sven(very common). I would try to find some other names to go with Astrid and Ingrid. I don't think that you need a particular Norse name. Many English names are seen as Norse.
I think that Astrid, Ingrid and Christian would be a lovely sibset. I like Peder and Greta as well.

too White Oleander

I like Astrid and I love Ingrid, but I wouldn't want to see them on sisters; they are way too similar sounding, imo. But I have a 'thing' about names in a sibset starting or ending with similar sounds. :-/

Names I think would sound nice as a sibling to Astrid OR Ingrid:
Freya*
Aina
Annika
Axel (m)
Dag (m)
Einar (m)
Frida
Greta*
Hans (m)
Lars (m)
Thorsten (m)*
Tova
Ylva
Grete
Leif (m)
Soren (m)

I really like both Astrid and Ingrid, but they're too similar to use together imo.

From your list I like...
Freya - I've seen a few of these in BAs recently.
Loki
Annika
Greta/Grete - As a nickname for Margareta?
Frida
Mikael
Niklas
Leif
Peder
Tyr

Of the others...
Sven reminds me too much of Sven Goran Eriksson.
Frans/Hans are too typical, if you know what I mean. If someone puts a German character in a book/film, they're usually called this in my experience.
Axel makes me think of car parts.
Gunnar makes me think of guns.
I don't like the "dis" on the end of Asdis or Eydis because it sounds like this, but with an accent.
I don't like the "Ag" in Agda, because I just don't like the sound.

I could probably grow to like a lot more of these, but they're too unfamiliar this time round.
