Help[Opinions] Andromeda
This name has slowly been creeping up on me the last few years. It's a very strong and powerful name, definitely an "acquired taste" that's not for everyone. I've only known 1 person named Andromeda, a mid-20 something whose siblings likewise had unusual names all from soap operas of the 1960s/70s. Often nicknamed as "Andra". I think this person was my first step into liking it. I still definitely prefer it as a middle name over a first but WDYT? Is it too much or are you still on board?

Very pretty and unique! Feels magical almost, like someone with this name would be capable of the extrodinary.

Oops, extraordinary*

The name of our neighbouring galaxy

It's so gorgeous name.

Very much dislike in real life but great for a character or pet. Andra is nice enough.

It’s actually nice.

Don't like it at all

Andromeda's gorgeous! I prefer Andromache, though.

Genuinely wonderful, but Andy or Andra downplay it's stellar flamboyance. I also love her daughter's name, Cassiopeia.

Daphne Andromeda is great! Daphne is fun and summery, while Andromeda is stern and wintry, so they provide a nice contrast temperature wise. I agree with you about Ingrid Andromeda being a bit too severe. Combos (AKA throwing ideas at a wall):
For some crazy reason, Andromeda Brittani came to mind. Just the idea of pairing this statuesque, classical name, with one commonly considered "trashy". I'd actually like Andromeda Brittany if Brittany was pronounced BRIT-ə-nee and not BRIT-nee.
Andromeda Caroline. Caroline is both warm and grounding. I also like it with the Dutch Carolien.
Andromeda Clémence/Clemency/Clementine, to provide some much needed... Softness?
Edith Andromeda
Esme Andromeda
Andromeda Firouzeh
Andromeda Franzi. She sounds so fun, like a semi-legendary 18th century spy/fencer.
Andromeda Hedvig? Too much?
Ismene Andromeda, or Andromeda Ismena, pronounced the Polish way - an-draw-MED-a ees-MEN-a, all Rs rolled.
Andromeda Jane/Janet/Jean/Joan
Andromeda Lavender??
Andromeda Magdalen

What a fun lineup. I particularly like Esme Andromeda, Tansy Andromeda, Andromeda Marian & Andromeda Caroline

It sounds pretty bad ass I'm my opinion though it's quite sci-fi sounding. I've noticed that people associate astronomical names to be more like character names in a movie, for example.
I think these names will suit the future, as people are starting to really become more unique (name-wise). Probably says something about society...
But I think it could work. Not sure what nicknames would come from it? Probably Ando, Andra ... it is a mouthful, so consider the nicknames you might not like hearing.
