I think it would fit just fine. It's a good name, not on my personal list but I like it. No associations except Jan's baby on The Office.

I love Astrid.

No it would not be not strange. Here's a good test: https://www.facebook.com/search/people/?q=astrid

I also like Ingrid, Sigrid and Signy.

No. It's fine. I think it falls in line with a lot of newly popular/up and coming names seen in America.

---

I like it ok. It's always felt a little bit like one of those names that's conciously trying to be unique- something akin to Lyric.

---

I prefer Aster

I think Astrid can suit a baby girl no matter what her ethnicity. It's a pretty, underused name.

No, I think it's totally fine for a child without Scandinavian ancestry. I wouldn't make an assumption about a child named Astrid.

---

I think it's beautiful and strong.

It's a lovely name, and I think it could be used by anybody.

If you use it, just be prepared for bullies to pounce on that unfortunate first syllable, though. I'd prep her with a few good comebacks.

I think it's fine on anyone. I really like Astrid and mostly associate it with the How to Train Your Dragon character, which made me love it even more. It's a strong, beautiful name. I think it's well known/familiar enough that it wouldn't be odd on a child, but I'm not sure how it'd be received in the US.

I love Astrid so so much! I would definitely use it. It's not too cutesy and unique without being too out there. Great choice!

No, not at all. I would not think twice about an American-German Astrid.
