Help[Opinions] Re: Astra/Astraea
in reply to a message by Siri
I'm wondering about Astraea too, now. I've always said it ah-STRAY-ah, but now I'm curious as to whether that's right or not.
Astraea's kind of like Leo to me. Astraea, the Goddess of Justice, became the constellation Virgo after she left the our mortal world. So I prefer the name only on a girl who's actually a Virgo, even though not many people know of Astraea's Virgo connection.
I don't think of the car when I hear Astra, and I prefer it to Astraea for a non-Virgo child. I also think Astra fits better visually with your other female choices. I think it especially goes well with Signy and Sigrid in both sound and looks.
