Help[Opinions] Re: Astrid
in reply to a message by TheDreadedSockMonkey
I like it. Makes me think of Astrid Lindberg. It is quite popular here (I'm from Sweden) which I think is sad but at the same time, that means that many people don't see it as geeky. ;)

I thought of Astrid Lindberg, too.
I never read "Pippi Longstocking", but that was one of the first things that popped into my head when I heard the name. It's not as popular in the U.S.; in fact, I don't think I've ever met an Astrid in my life.

It doesn't really makes me think of "Pippi Longstocking" (huh, it looks wierd! IN swedish we call her "Pippi Långstrumpa" so I'm used to that =P) but I think of Astrid in general since she written so many books that I loved as a child.
To me it sounds like scandinavian names becomes more and more popular in the US! Like Freya/Freja, Sören, Björn, Ingrid, Siri, Astrid, Kjell, Torsten, Kai...
