Help[Opinions] Re: Astoria
in reply to a message by Felie
Astor, Astore and Astorre have been used as masculine names in Italy, though:
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astorre (in Italian)
It seems a bit odd that the possible feminine versions never caught on, because most Italian masculine names have at least one well-documented feminine version. Who knows why, but I think it's a shame! It would have been neat to at least see an Astora walk around somewhere.

Hi Lucille !!!
Wow! I have never looked for an Italian form!
Astorre with double r seems too archaic to my ears but Astore (a-STAW-re according to many dictionaries) isn't so bad. I guess that people would read it A-staw-re because a similar name like Nestore (Nestor) is read NE-sto-re).
I agree with Astoria. It is not complex at All also for Italians to read and write down this name. It is not different from Victoria. I don't know why it is not spread elsewhere.
Currently are trendy names like Aiden & Jaden or Avery & Everly or Adalyn & Madelyn... Why anyone has never thought about Astoria & Victoria?
