...or Freida Pinto from Slumdog Millionaire. Best Welsh girl's name I ever came across was Nia.

I like the Frida spelling. Makes me think of Abba.

that's worth knowing about ffffffffffion MaybeAB*
*choccy I've never heard of Elfreda before but think it's lovely. Elffreda would look silly though. Maybe I'll have a Frida and a welsh middle name

I love Zelda too. I know nothing about computer games though, I've been told Zelda is a no no. But I don't see why it has to be.

Or to sound right in Welsh.

THink it's an "old lady" name, because I've got an Auntie Freda, (aged about 80) but actually her real name is Elfreda which is lovely. Would still need two ffs to look Welsh though..?

I'd spell it Frida

LOVE it. It has more strength than Freya, it's not so pretty, pretty, but it's quirkier and cooler.

LOVE it.

Frida is OK. Ffrida looks a bit silly, imo. Sorry. blush

I have a niece called Ffion, and she is often called F-f-f-f-f-f-f-fion by other children at school (she doesn't live in Wales), and gets fed up with it.
