HelpIngrid and Astrid?
These have been really appealing to me strongly lately. I used to be in the "god these names are ugly" camp, but now I am in the "god these names are sexy" camp. The (consonant)r followed by the harsh -id ending seems so solid and healthy to me now where before it was irredeemably ugly.
Where do you fall, BTNers? I want to know what you think.

Ingrid, hands down
I don't care for Astrid. It sounds trendy to me.
Ingrid is classic and lovely to me, but I'm probably influenced by Ingrid Bergman.

I've been really liking Astrid lately, though partially just because I like the nn Astri (I knew a girl named Astri, and I always thought it was neat). But also there was a character in a book I read long ago named Astrid, and I liked her too, so I've always had a soft spot for it even when I didn't love it.
Ingrid I think is kinda pretty. I like Astrid better, but Ingrid has something prettier about it than Astrid. I think it's because the beginning is less harsh.

I love both. I loved Ingrid for a long time, mostly because of associations, then Astrid just kind of fell in line. :-)

and think they fall into the "sexy names" category. To me, these names really conjure up the image of a confident, strong woman.

Astrid is definitely sexy. I see a tall, dark girl with legs that go on forever and an outgoing smile. I too used to think it was ugly but for some reason I've formed a different opinion.
Ingrid however I still think is ugly, heh. But not iredeemably ugly as you say. For me, Ingrid is one of those that can only work on the perfect person. In other words, she *has* to be sexy and outgoing for it to be fitting.

I love them. I think they are cool in an exotic way. They are ugly to most people, which means they will not become trendy.

I love Astrid. However, I don't think it's particularly usable as a first name due to the pesky "ass" sound. Which is sad, because it's a really great name.
I like Ingrid too. It's pretty darned ugly but for some reason I do like it. I don't think I'd use it, but I'd be pleased to see someone else use it.

Love Ingrid. Love Ingrid. I wouldn't use it, but I'm very fond of Norwegian names in general, since they're a part of my heritage and environment (I've met everyone from Solveig to Odin, man). And they're just cool sounding, and I love Norwegian names.
Astrid is one of those where I do like it, but it doesn't have quite the same appeal as a lot of others. I think it's pretty enough, but there are enough names that I like more that it just doesn't have the same shine.
