[Opinions] Re: Alice or Astrid
in reply to a message by chrssosp
I prefer Astrid. It seems less overdone than Alice, with its uncommonly mystical vibe. And this really has nothing to do with the name itself, but the sound makes it seem icy-blue -- the color is more pleasing to the eye than Alice's red-wine tint.

Odd - I associate Alice with blue more than Astrid. It's too heavily associated with Alice in Wonderland for it not to be. Where did you get red?
I was thinking of the book, not the movie. My copy of the book had a leather cover with a high sheen -- it was the color of red wine and has since turned brown with age. When I read it, I automatically thought the name Alice must be the color of wine, as were many names that were commonly associated with fairy tales and old literature.
Ah I see, that's fair
