Re: Astraea, Adrasteia or Estella?
in reply to a message by Lily
Out of the three names, I think I like Astraea the best.
Adrasteia is lovely, but it might be one of those names that a lot of people might get tongue-tied trying to say at first or have trouble remembering. I could imagine people saying Adrastreia or Adastreia or something by mistake. It could still work as a middle name though. Even if you used it as a first name, I'm sure people would catch on eventually, and she could always go by Addie or another nickname to make things easier on herself.
Astraea is very pretty, and a bit less complicated than Adrasteia. I don't think Astraea would be as confusing to non-name nerds as Adrasteia.
Estella is nice, but I prefer Estrella (eh-STRAY-ah).
