My trainee mw is called Freya, which I think is lovely. I've never heard anyone called it before so it must be pretty unusual.

But then I looked it up on here and it told me among other things "many other pegs at nursery will say Freya" and that it's for "poncey unoriginal parents" Confused

What's the collective opinion, do you know tons of Freyas? Or is it so weird and far-out as to be 'poncey'?

Lovely name, very popular round here. 3 in my DD's school of only 89 children.

I know one Freya, a lovely little girl- there were 2 in my junior school in the '80s. I don't think its poncey or weird, its a pretty name.

I don't think it is poncey, but it is becoming more popular. I know 3 Freyas under 5, but they are all lovely children!
