HelpRe: Astor
in reply to a message by Billina
It mainly strikes me as a famous-rich-family-namedrop sort of name, since it's never been notably used as a first name.
As such, it's sexless.
I also balk when names begin with the emphasized sound ASS.
I wouldn't like it for either sex.
If it didn't seem pretentious, I'd probably favor it for a girl. Because the Ast-part might remind me of Astrid, and the end might remind me of Eleanor. But it seems like it'd work for a boy too, since it resembles names like Castor and Nestor.
