Which do you like better: Astrid or Freya? What impressions do either name give you?

Freya

[classiestkid.livejournal.com]

Freya is my friend's dog, so that's all I can think of, so Astrid.

[saiberiac.livejournal.com]

it reminds me of the weird rat character from Final Fantasy 9, so I'm in the same boat :(

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

lol there was no Freya in Fiddler. I wonder what character you are thinking of?

[lindiohead.livejournal.com]

I looooove that movie!

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but I dislike both.
I used to like Astrid, but now it just sounds like acid.

Freya reminds me of the goddess, but I think it doesn't sound good at all.
It is FREY-ah, right?

[moobiewons.livejournal.com]

Yep. At least I'm pretty sure it's FREY-ah.

[drunkontea.livejournal.com]

Astrid.

I love Astrid but don't like Freya. My boyfriend loves Freya but doesn't like Astrid. :(

i have loved astrid since i first heard it many years ago. i love it less now, its a little harsh sounding for my taste these days, but its still on my list.

freya bugs me, not sure why.

I like Astrid. It reminds me of the girl in White Oleander, which is my favorite book/movie.

Freya reminds me of the frion in the fridge.

I've loved Freya since meeting a little girl with the name. I think I had a hard time picturing it as a usable name before that.

I want to like Astrid, but I just hear "ass."

[lindiohead.livejournal.com]

Astrid... reminds me of White Oleander. But that book was horrible depressing.

Freya reminds me of Freida.

[lovelylittle.livejournal.com]

Freya, definitely. My sister had a friend from Germany named Freya and she was really cool, so that's kind of why I like it.

Astrid kind of reminds me of a dogs name. I'm not sure why. =/

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

I love Freja, spelled like that.

I'm okay with Astrid but its not one of my favorites.

[yasue.livejournal.com]

Been playing Animal Crossing?
I find them about the same. Maybe slight preference toward Freya.

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

YAAAAAAAAAAH! That's why I said! Astrid is a --t--! I've never had Freya in my town though!

[yasue.livejournal.com]

Lol. Freya was a --t-- as well. I did get both of them in my town (or towns, wasted too many hours of my life with that game! XD)

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Freya. Astrid sounds too harsh, and I'd be wary of using any name that starts with 'ass'.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Astrid!

I love that name, it's very high on my list =). I once read this book, White Oleander, and the main character is called Astrid. She was so strong and so great, I loved that. So that's why I love the name =).

Freya is ok, but I know someone called Freya. And although she is a nice person...I don't know. I dislike most names that remind me of classmates ;)

[seksimaggie.livejournal.com]

I prefer Astrid, but I don't really like it because it seems like an old lady name. Also it makes me think of White Oleander.

Freya I don't understand, it seems to be gaining in popularity (at least I feel like I hear it in this community a lot) but I don't like it at all.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

I like Astrid better, but only because it's the lesser of two evils. Astrid, I think of an old British woman; Freya makes me think of some Eastern European gypsy or something.

[omfg----hxc.livejournal.com]

Astrid.

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

I like Freya better. However, Freya is the name of my cousin's dog.

Astrid makes me think of astroturf. Also there's a kangaroo on Animal Crossing named Astrid.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

I like Astrid better.
Both names make me picture European girls, but while Astrid seems like she'd be a graceful princess, Freya sounds like a peasant.

[blue-suspenders.livejournal.com]

Astrid.
Freya seems kind of old to me.

[moshimoshi-13.livejournal.com]

I like Astrid better. The way Freya sounds just doesn't appeal to me.

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

I love them both.

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

I adore Astrid. It is such a beautiful, graceful name and it sounds lovely in just about any language!
