Makes me think of a hotel, tbh.
Hi !!!
Astor has an aristocratic vibe thanks to the famous Astor family (J.J. Astor who died with the Titanic is my link with it). It is a positive vibe in my mind.
As a name it is a strong, simple name and only thanks to this post I read the meaning and it is a great news. It makes it better.
I see it only a masculine name: Astoria is a beautiful feminine form..why not using it for a girl?
I rate Astor 8/10.
Some combos would be...
Astor Edmund
Astor Edward
Astor George
Astor Paxmore
Astor Levi
Astor Rupert
Astor Jack
Astor Leif
Astor Earl
Astor Amos
Astor Cedric
Astor Rian
Astor Gregory
Astor Finn
Astor Raphael
Astor Ebenezer
Astor René
Astor Douglas
Astor Kilian
Astor Julien
Astor Gavin
Astor Ashley
Astor Quinn
Astor Sean
Astor Connor

It sounds like the name of a horse.
One of Rita's kids in Dexter is a girl named Aster, which has a flower connection. I haven't thought about it in a while, actually, but it was on my list briefly. I like the sound.
So I guess I'd use the Astor spelling for a boy, Aster for a girl.

I kind of like Aster Lennox. Also, I'm digging the Wesleigh spelling, even though it's not something I usually go for. It works as a middle name, though.

Astor has a regal feeling to it. It sounds like someone who’s important to me. I only like it on a boy, the girls can have Astrid.

Astor Jonathan
Astor Julian

For me it's inseparable from the famous wealthy family name, so it sounds pretentious to me. Would never use.
It seems masculine to me, but if it's as pretentious as it sounds, it could be a girl name too - since the dropping of important surnames as first names, is done with girls as well as boys. On a girl, to me it seems very stuck up. On a boy, I can sort of pretend it might possibly be just a first name - like, his parents never heard of the name Astor except when they saw it in a name dictionary.
If I pretend it's just an ordinary guy name, it's alright. Nifty meaning. But the "Ass" sound keeps me from really loving it. Same as with Aster.
Matchy middle name: Astor Willoughby
Contrasty middle name: Astor Tanith
Flowy popular middle name: Astor Emilia, Astor Logan
