[Opinions] Astrid
I've seen something of a resurgence of Nordic "-id" feminine names in the polls recently: Astrid, Ingrid (especially), Sigrid, etc. are coming up more often, so naturally I'm thinking about them. Particularly Astrid.
I've met a couple Astrids in my life, and they were Hispanic / Latina. I don't know whether the trending use in the United States is still among the Latino population, but that has been my experience. The sound isn't unpleasant to my ears, but I can't get over the fact that it's one letter off the word "astride." That's what I want to say every time I read the name.
Anyway, wdyt?

I'm not a big fan of Astrid. As for Ingrid, I prefer Inga.
By far my favorite Scandinavian name, and a diamond in the rough for the Hispanic community as well. Like I said before, Astrid reminds me a lot of light blue, the number 8 and the smell of ink. It's all very pleasant.
My favourite Scandinavian -rid name by far is Sigrid; then Astrid, and finally Ingrid.
Enid is a Welsh name, but I do like it. There's a nerdy sort of charm, like an entomologist.
Can't bring myself to like Ingrid though. It's definitely the "ing" (don't like Inga or Irving, either).
