I've never liked the sound of it but I like its mythological connections and I think it looks pretty. Also ever since I watched The Office episode where Michael mispronounces it @ss turd I have not been able to get that out of my head. I always heard the @ss but now I can't help hearing the turd part even though I know it is pronounced differently.

I much prefer Aster as a name.

This is exactly what I was going to say. My first thought when I hear/see the name Astrid is that episode of The Office.

I really don't think Astrid sounds very pleasing. I'm not too fond of the way it looks on paper either. So, I'm not a fan.
