The name was used in Doctor Who for the companion 'Astrid Peth' played by Kylie Minogue. It's also an anagram of TARDIS (the doctors time machine/spaceship).We used this name for my daughter! I think it's beautiful. Lovely Norse name.
Makes me think of the main character, Astrid Magnasson in the book White Oleander. A great character, in my opinion, so this name appeals to me. Plus, I just think it sounds pretty.
