Help[Opinions] Re: Astoria
in reply to a message by Red robin
Hi Red Robin !!!.
You are right. Being only a submitted name It can't receive comments or ratings or a popularity ranking...and it is just rarely comment by users.
Anyway...
I like Astoria.
I see it as beautiful feminine of Astor. It shares with the masculine form an aristocratic but also strong vibe. It is melodious, mythological nearly operatic.
It is a minor character of Harry Potter so it has a witchy vibe as well, a positive vibe.
Here in Italy it has never been used maybe because 'history, story' in Italian is 'Storia, storia' so Astoria would be strange.

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?
