HelpRe: Mathilde, Héloïse, Bérénice or Astrid?
in reply to a message by painted_tetra
Astrid. 2nd choice Mathilde. I like those.
The multiple accent marks aren't my thing (I don't even know how to type them using my keyboard; they might as well be Arabic script).
ETA: I didn't realize it was the French pronunciation of Astrid (I prefer the English/Swedish/German pronunciation or Astrud; the French feels unfamiliar/awkward in comparison). I'd go with Mathilde over that (which I intuitively pronounce as French)...and then Bérénice 2nd, because I pronounce that basically the French way even without accent marks, and I do like the sound/look.
