[Opinions] Re: WDYT of Astrid?

The first time I heard this name was in a modern dubbed version of Heidi. Clara and Heidi decide to name the new foal Astrid. While I don't love the name I think it is a good choice. Aster is my least favorite nn because I think of Astor the American aristocrat from the early 20th century and it sounds masculine. I feel like Terri (or any spelling of this) would also work as a nn for some reason.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not a fan of Terri but Trudy kind of works and I like that more. Tridy makes more sense but I don't like it. I feel Astrid definitely doesn't easily lend itself to nn's. As EMB mentioned Asta works, Astra would also work which I like even more.
