Aster means star but Asteraceae is also the latin name for the daisy/ aster family of flowers because daisies look like little suns/ stars. Aster and daisy are interchangeable words/ synonyms for the same variety of flower. So Aster is a possible nn for
Astrid and
Daisy or
Star are derived from Aster.
I also thought it was interesting that except for the y in
Daisy all the letters in the name
Daisy are found in the name
Astrid. Same for
Star, all thr letters can be found in
Astrid. Using
Daisy or
Star as a nn though would be a bit of a stretch since they are really nn's for Aster.
