Freya or Skylar?

We found out we're having a girl this week :) Which is good because the only boys name we liked I said the same as the cat! Lol

For years I've liked Skylar, but OH has gone off it. My mum suggested Freya and he really likes it (I think because it sounds a bit Norse and Vikingy!) and actually I do too.

The problem is I teach and have taught 2 Freyas so I can't help but think of them. I'm sure if we went with it I would soon forget them though.

Any thoughts?

Freya. Really don't like Skylar though if you're not overly fussed on Freya I wouldn't use that either.

Freya. I've only ever known male Skylars

Viviene I did discover this upon googling the name...but have never heard of them before.

Skyler. Freya is a bra brand. They make very good bras though but that's all I can think of when I hear the name.

Skylar was Walter Whites long suffering wife on Breaking Bad.

So.......Freya. Grin

Freya! Skylar is nice but a bit trendy.

DanyellasDonkey · 20/10/2016 17:10

Freya is nice but not keen on Skylar - it sounds like something from a dreadful American programme

AmeliaJack · 20/10/2016 17:09

I prefer Freya.
