It may be confusing around the Sanctuary, but as you pointed out, Astrid is a fairly common Scandinavian sounding name. It's not like no two people have the same name, how many Chris's do you know? So, I wouldn't worry about it, soon enough,
.. Here are some of the names (I did not use these but I've written them down anyway 
) :
Yeah, she already is. But you're right, in all of Skyrim there's bound to be repeats of common names.
Maybe even more? I don't know, it's more of a Nordic name, might not be as popular outside of Skyrim.
I always saw this as a bit of an unrealism. There's a couple Hrokis (One merely refered to post-mortem as being grabbed by Mirmulnir) but in every culture, there's always Those names you tend to keep running into. if I didn't know any better, I'd think the Dev team actually changed names, because they found they'd already been used. I've actually had one named Irileth because I couldn't come up with anything better at the time, and then when we ran into each other in the Throne Room, I said "Small World" in character to lampshade it. (Ok, I copied her completely, so I could play Irileth, and Jenassa fighting together against the world. A Spellsword, and Assassin made an incredibly good fireteam.)
Oh, that makes sense to me. I mean, I often change to Clothes in town, for instance, because it's kind of glaring running around looking like some faceless Tank, unless that's in Character. Also, some of my Battlemages normally wear Robes with a Mask, and Heavy Boots/Gauntlets, but if I know I'm walking into a nasty fight, I'll drop in a Cuirass. Usually the Wolf Armor, because it matches the Battlemage Aesthetic, and is extremely light. This also procs the Stagger Resistance perks, but the rest of the time, I have better running speed, Stamina, and Magicka Recovery from the robes. I can definitely see how you could play similarly with/without a Helmet, especially with the Steed Stone. Historically, Warriors did the same, mostly for Situational Awareness. You're a lot more likely to see/hear an impending Ambush if you don't have a steel kettle over your eyes, and ears.When I need a helmet I will use it. Most of the time I can attack my foes and win without the helmet, so if I don't like it I don't use it.
