Common questions
What are good middle names for Astrid?
The top picks are Evelyn, Emilia, Eloise, Eliza, Evangeline. Each one is a different length or sound from Astrid, so the two names do not run together when you say them.
Should the middle name for Astrid be short or long?
Astrid has 2 syllables. A three-syllable middle name (Evelyn, Emilia, Eloise) makes the whole name feel longer and more formal. Match it to your last name: a short last name goes with a longer middle name, and the other way around.
What initials should you avoid with Astrid?
Write the three initials out together — first, middle, last — before you decide, and check they do not spell a word. A middle name starting with "A" repeats Astrid's own first letter, which some parents like and others avoid.
