Don't like it
I think Asteria is neat, but Astraea is neater.
Of the 2, I'd have to choose Asteria. As a NZer, all I can hear from Astraea is a mispronunciation of Australia.
Asteria seems likely to be easier for most people to pronounce, which is a good thing. I would prefer Astraea, but the pronunciation possibilities are daunting: asTRAYa, asTRIEa, something else? But it is more familiar, seems to have more of a pedigree, so I'll stay with it though I'd never use either one.
Asteria.
I've begun to like Astraea, though, after getting over the whole "but it sounds like 'ashtray' pronouncing it" thing, since I do like its meaning.

I like both names, but prefer Asteria more.
Asteria
But I like both.

It's hard, because both are pretty...
Asteria, even though some say it reminds them of the word hysteria. I still like this gorgeous name!
