I LOVE my name. Yes, I definitely did get Ash-tray, Ostrich, Asteroid, etc. But it was all in good fun and I took it well. It was only weird when people would call out to me and unnoticingly cut off my name to “ass”. I do think the name kind of has an effect on the kind of person you’ll be. Thank God I never got Ass-turd!

I love my name! But please, only name your child this if you’re willing to be a supportive parent when the name-calling starts. I was often called ostrich, asteroid, astro (like the dog on the Jetsons), but the worst was definitely ass-turd. I wonder if any of my former tormentors are writers on The Office? :)

Thank goodness we don’t the American The Office here (at least as far as I know). I hate it when television shows/books/whatever turns people off perfectly lovely names. Just like this dumb internet video I came across once where some bloke appointed himself ‘Name Sheriff’ of his town and went around ‘charging’ people for their crimes- even a sweet little Julian wasn’t safe, as the guy proclaimed it poncy and pretentious and verbally reprimanded his parents. Luckily they took it in good humour, but several others didn’t, and quite rightly!
Anyway, I’ve rambled on quite enough. Astrid is a very pretty name, and that’s just about as much as I can come up with. Must be feeling quite uninspired tonight!

Abby, I see your dilemma on applying these terms to personal names. It’s almost like saying calling someone named Lucas “Mucas” is a pun, which it isn’t quite.
