[Opinions] Astrid

I've seen something of a resurgence of Nordic "-id" feminine names in the polls recently: Astrid, Ingrid (especially), Sigrid, etc. are coming up more often, so naturally I'm thinking about them. Particularly Astrid.I've met a couple Astrids in my life, and they were Hispanic / Latina. I don't know whether the trending use in the United States is still among the Latino population, but that has been my experience. The sound isn't unpleasant to my ears, but I can't get over the fact that it's one letter off the word "astride." That's what I want to say every time I read the name.Anyway, wdyt?***Please rate my personal name lists:www.behindthename.com/pnl/69381

Out of them all, I prefer Ingrid; I think that it’s such a beautiful name for a girl. Astrid is also an amazing name, and I love it so much.

The Norwegian pronunciation is the prettiest, but I'm still not fond of the bulky sound in other languages. It does have a nice aura, though. It seems professional and otherworldly. I don't like Ingrid or Sigrid at all. I prefer Astrid to both of them.

I'm not a big fan of Astrid. As for Ingrid, I prefer Inga.

By far my favorite Scandinavian name, and a diamond in the rough for the Hispanic community as well. Like I said before, Astrid reminds me a lot of light blue, the number 8 and the smell of ink. It's all very pleasant.

I love it. Despite not being on my top 10, I would use it in a heartbeat. It has a nice meaning and it's exotic without being obscure - one could notice it's a Scandinavian name. On another note, it's not rare in Spanish-speaking countries.I also like Ingrid and Sigrid.

My favourite Scandinavian -rid name by far is Sigrid; then Astrid, and finally Ingrid.

Enid is a Welsh name, but I do like it. There's a nerdy sort of charm, like an entomologist.Can't bring myself to like Ingrid though. It's definitely the "ing" (don't like Inga or Irving, either).
