Baby name???

JoowieJoowie member
in January 2015 Moms
I'm having a boy and from what I've read/heard Astrid is definitely a girls name. But I don't think it sounds very feminine. I'm so stuck on the name after being sure the past few months. So is Silas Astrid okay? Or should I stick to Silas Oliver?

    Sorry, Astrid does seem like a girls name to me and also reminds me of the episode of The Office where Michael says the name as "Ass turd."

    I prefer Oliver.

    I was just going to write that!
    I was thinking the exact same thing(I heart The Office!)

    OP- Astrid is most definitely a girls name. I would go with Silas Oliver.

    I can only associate Astrid with being feminine ...can't imagine it on a boy

    Silas Oliver is good

    I believe Astrid was also a little girls name on the show Dexter.

    Jumpin on the bandwagon of Silas Astrid.

    Astrid reminds me of the show Fringe- it was a girl's name on there as well.

    @Maebb‌ thanks for making me choke on my coffee. I was just thinking I really like the name Astrid, then you had to throw ass turd out there. Lol

    I have a good friend named Astrid and two little girls at the school I cross for are Astrid. Definitely a girl name.

    And I love Silas. Why would my husband veto Silas? Such a great name. Silas Oliver is perfect.

    I agree with the ladies, Astrid is and does sound like a girls name. We are with you in your love for the name of Silas though! It is one of our top contenders! His name would be Silas D'Angelo "insert very Italian last name :)" Silas Oliver is very sweet! Is Oliver or Astrid a family name?

    Astrid is definitely a girl's name. Silas Oliver is nice. I would go with that.

    I definitely prefer Silas Oliver . . . or even Oliver Silas. Not a fan of Astrid in general, and I don't think it falls into the unisex category. It's pretty common for boy names to get taken over by girls, but I think it's a lot harder for a girl's name to swing masculine.

    Definitely Silas Oliver. Silas because it's my sons name and Oliver because i love the name Oliver :).

    Dexter's step-daughter is Astor :-) were using it as our little girls middle name...I feel kind of weird telling ppl where we got it from but oh well, we love it! (And Dexter)

    I do think Astrid is too feminine for a boy, but I like Silas Oliver!

    Silas Oliver is a great name.  Astrid is a nice name as well but like many of the others I picture a little girl.  Maybe put it on the back burner, who knows you might have a little girl one day and you could use it.


    After 8 yrs of ttc little one is due Jan. 28

    Big brother is excited to meet this little one!

    Yes, I would go with Silas Oliver also. I can understand why you love the name Astrid "divinely beautiful", but it is a girl's name and sadly it doesn't have a male version. I would keep Astrid in the memory bank for a possible younger sis.

    It's up to you honestly, both names are great :)

    It's weird how names can be feminine or masculine, my name is typically a girls name Andrea but it's origins say it means Manly. What. Lol

    But I have guy friends names Ariel, Sandy, Pearl and they seem to be doing just fine even with their names being considered more "feminine". I also know girls names Dylan, Jorden and Adrian. So it's no big deal :)
