A-STRAY-a. It's one of my absolute favourites for a girl. I love it.
I love Astraea, it's very pretty and unusual. I prounounce it as-TREY-ah.
It looks like a misspelling of Estrella

It's Latinized, so classically it should be somewhere along the lines of AH-stry-a. I think it's lovely and the meaning and story are nice. For a middle name I like something short and sweet:
Astraea June
Astraea May
Astraea Joy
Astraea Celeste
Astraea Lily
Astraea Laure
Astraea Wren
Astraea Maeve
Astraea Lenore
Astraea June
Astraea May
Astraea Joy
Astraea Celeste
Astraea Lily
Astraea Laure
Astraea Wren
Astraea Maeve
Astraea Lenore
I pronounce it ah-STRAY-ah. You can also use the Spanish word for "star" spelled, Estrella. Pronounced the same way. Either way I think it's nice. A little out there but pretty anyway.
I like the name Astraea. I think it is nice name and also unique. I pronounce it Astri-ah. I don't know what middle name I would pair it with
What is wrong with that?
I'm not the only one who's jumpy tonight, eh? [m]
I'm sure (s)he meant nothing by it. It could be an association the a child would be teased for, but I doubt (s)he meant any insult.

Yes, just as one reason I hate the name Leslie is because the first syllable reminds me of the word lesbian. I have absolutely nothing against lesbians, one of the nicest women I've ever met was a lesbian and we were friends. But it's just not what I want to think of when I hear a name.
My honest opinion?
I always think and see ashtray, when seeing this name, and because of that, it does not appeal to me.

I pronounce it ah-STRIE-ah. It's nice but I prefer the spelling Astraia.
I've always pronounced it ah-STRAY-ah. I'm not sure if this is right, though! Still, I like it. :D I think it's very pretty and feminine, but not too frilly.
