I never got behind the craze for this name.I don’t like the pronunciation (any of them, but especially not AS-trid). I don’t think it’s a nice sound.

Hi !!!I rate Astrid 8/10.I like it, every pronounciation (Norwegian, German, French..).The sound is cheerful but traditional and can fit every kind of woman since the childhood and later the adulthood.I like that it seems International despite being a Scandinavian name.It has a noble, royal vibe thanks to many princesses and also a literarian/artistic feeling.

I like it very much. I've only ever known one Astrid; she has a sister Ingrid.
Of the three names with matching endings, I like Sigrid the best, then Astrid and then Ingrid. I quite understand that in places where 'ass' is a body part, Astrid could be problematic, but that doesn't apply where I live. And, although I'm familiar with the actual etymology, it also pleases me to associate Astrid with stars.

I love it, and it's on my list.The only qualm I have with it is that one of my close friends is Norwegian and she would pronounce it the Norwegian way with a 'th' at the end. But that's a minor thing.

Ass-trid. Unattractive sound.
