I would not be surprised if ther is a meaning to her name

All-round Semi-cellular Trunking Radiocommunication network with Integrated Dispatchings, is the official acronym.

I think the word you are lookinf for here is acronym..

I recon it's a red herring to throu people off the scent...

the translation of her surname is piece so her name is tardis piece so i think that says it all

She could be an acronym that is an anagram of an acronym, or alternatively just an anarchic anachronism?

This is not the first time a character named Astrid has appeared in Doctor Who. A character of the same name appeared in a 1968 Patrick Troughton adventure.

I agree, I think they stuck the TARDIS in to take THE P

Perhaps it's just a co-incidence, that "Astrid" actually means "beautiful god", and just happens to be an anagram of TARDIS? Or perhaps RTD had just been playing a lot of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass?

Whatever it means I bet the speculation and theory on here will turn out to be 10 times better and clever then what it actually turns out to be.

RTD - I find he has great ideas and great starts but always seems to muck up the end.

In the new trailer for VOTD the look The Doctor gives Astrid reminded me very much of the look The Doctor gave Rose when he was dressed up & she was a waitress in "Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel"

Perhaps Astrid isn't part of the Titanic's crew & is DW's equivalent of The Emergency Medical Hologram from ST-V

Or is it just that we on t'net have overactive imaginations?

Her full name is Astrid Peth

Astrid = TARDIS
Peth = Welsh for "Part of"

I think you can see where i am going with this one...

Peth = "The P", personally I think they are "taking" it in a different idrection

Looking at the DW Advent Calendar for the 16th, it seems that Astrid & The Doctor don't know each other - but then DW previews have always had a tendency to mislead

hee hee-when i watched it and he says 'you should see me in the mornings'
i replied 'ok' exactly the same time as Astrid!!

Loved the look on his face!

The sound was crappy on t'internet when I watched it Em. Did he say "In the mornings" or "In my morning suit"?

i prefer the thought of him in his morning suit to be honest..........
