I love Astrid. It's known but not common, it's easy to spell and is pronounceable in English and many other languages.

They sound like prescription medications

Love them both!

Astrid is lovely. I also like Imogen, but it feels a little too Shakespeare heroine-y. FWIW, Linnea was the Swedish choice on my short list of names for DD.

Neither. They are both horrible!

How about Marit or Ingrid?

Awful, back to the drawing board.

Tough crowd. I think they are both beautiful names. Astrid made the short list for my daughter. I actually know 3 Astrid’s. I think imogen is pretty too but I would be annoyed if people called her gene as a nickname which you can’t really control.

I don’t understand this. Astrid is really easy to pronounce no matter what the last name. I agree though Imogen is not so obvious which is a potential issue with the name.

Both are terrible especially with complicated last name(s).

This.

How about Linnea?
