Well there was a Belgian princess called Astrid who died young in a car-crash, so the Belgians tend to glamorise that name. I think it's a very beautiful name, because it means Astral.
The only Astrid I knew was beautiful and feminine, but a serious alcoholic who drank herself to death. To me, her name made her more sublime than perhaps she was.
