I love
Astrid and I think it has to do with the fact that I met a very adorable 5 year old
Astrid. I had only ever heard of the name prior to this from the movie White Oleander.
Since meeting a real
Astrid, the name has been a GP of mine. I don't know if I would actually use it mainly because I want a name that reflects my childrens ethnic origins or honor a family member. However, I am delghted when I hear it used.
And, it does not remind me of asteroid or a##-anything.
