I completely fell in love with this amazing unique name. In my childhood, I knew two people with this name and they were so successful!! Obviously this name is for a baby girl who is going to be grand!

Hated the name growing up...was never pronounced right, ever. Teased a lot. BUT once I got to being an adult, NOW I like it. Still have to correct everyone on how to pronounce it right (pronounced Austrid). I do get a lot of compliments on the name though.

You really shouldnt name your child Astrid, thats my name and its torture. [:

I agree with Astrid Sumpter

its just a name... it really doesn't.. rather won't dictate your future (weather successful or not)... ^^ it only depends on the person who is willing to make the best of his/her life...

Astrid is a pretty unique name... and i love it..

I really don't like my name because when I was younger kids used to tease me and call me names like ass-trid or ostrich,but now I guess I'm getting use to it.

Ladies, appreciate this name. It is Gorgeous - It means beautiful as a goddess. It was my mother's name and she fit it perfectly. It also means impulsive to love. How much grander is that? Astrid, a beautiful name, with a wonderful scandinavian heritage!!!!

Never got teased and have live here and in Europe, I think it is a wonderful gift to give a child a unique name. I think in some odd way it builds a good character and it also really is cool when you are a young adult heading out into the world of dating ; )

I believe that this name has made my life wonderful. I've been very successful in life and I believe that it is because of this name that I have been so lucky in life. I recieve many compliments on my name, it's wonderful. Enjoy it ladies!

i am actually not very fond on my name. i usually dont say it and not many people outside my family know it.

This is such a wonderful name! I fell in love with it the moment I saw it.

my mother chose this name for me and like all the rest of you i got picked on by other kids, but it was such a unique name that i think the other kids were jealous. this name has a strong meaning and i think that's important when naming your child. when i found out the meaning of my name i had better self-esteem because my name is special. that's why i name my son Lazarus, because having a special name gives meaning to your life. i only knew of one other person who had the same name as i did, and now because of the internet i can see how many people have this name. it's great!!!! we're like a gang :)

I named my daughter Astrid, after myself, Ingrid, she`s beautiful, long blond hair big blue eyes people look at her and hear Astrid and say Ahhhhh She didn`t like it at first but now shes in high school she loves it. we do look scandinavian so i knew the name would fit.

i love this name. My brothers name was astrit . i lovit

I love this name. So different and unique. We are all goddesses and this name says it all. I did get teased but i never wanted to change my name. Not many of us around so lets stay together and let everyone know that the name callings are sooooooo old and to come up with somthing new.
