Zena!
Just because I know someone whose wife was called zena and he adored her. She was full of life and happiness! I'm making myself tearful here, thinking about them

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 27/06/2019 23:41

Zenz, zena, zena! But spelled the best way which is Xena!

Love Freya too, but currently extremely popular and has been for a few years now so bit easy to forget, but xena commands attention. Go for it!

AquaPris · 27/06/2019 23:39

Zena is cool... but as we have learnt you should expect everything g to correct her name to zebra

Snoopy90 · 27/06/2019 23:32

Zena but I think I'd spell it Xena. Freya is really nice as well but I think being so popular takes away from it.

CathyHeathcliff · 27/06/2019 23:28

I'd definitely say Freya given Zena is being corrected to Zebra lol

Kanga83 · 27/06/2019 22:51

Zena/Xenia/Zenya. Love love love it. It's classy and funky and just fab. Freya is not.

OldAndWornOut · 27/06/2019 22:41

Zena. It's bloody great!

RickOShay · 27/06/2019 22:33

Definitely Zena/Xena

SemperIdem · 27/06/2019 22:33

Zena.

Freya is a bit blah (for all it’s Norse history) and over done, where I live anyway.

NationMcKinley · 27/06/2019 22:30

Oh God definitely Zena / Xena. Fab name. I want to watch XWP now.

Freya is awful (IMO, apologies to all Freyas). It’s just so insipid.

Nonameyet1 · 27/06/2019 22:23

I think Zena... I keep saying it to myself. I like it more than Freya.

Monday55 · 27/06/2019 09:06

Either will do. But I'd spell Zena as Xena too.

Sophronia · 27/06/2019 08:57

Zena

MrsTerryPratchett · 27/06/2019 01:45

I love Freya.

Xena is OK.

Zena is misspelled Xena.

user27495824 · 27/06/2019 01:42

Zena! There are 3 Freya's in my dd's year 1 class.

zeddybrek · 27/06/2019 01:40

Zena

Shadow1234 · 27/06/2019 01:10

Freya

AverageMummy · 26/06/2019 22:27

Freya just reminds me of frumpy bras

MamaOfBothTeams · 26/06/2019 21:46

I know of 3 Freya's born in the last 2 months, not particularly a fan of the name

I do like Zena though

TatianaLarina · 26/06/2019 21:08

Zena.

Freya is meh.

DaisyChainsForever · 26/06/2019 21:01

Zena all the way!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 26/06/2019 20:59

Freya

diddlediddle · 26/06/2019 20:51

Zena way better than Freya. Freya v popular. Zena is very cool and feels familiar but without actually being popular.

MenuPlant · 26/06/2019 19:35

Wasn't it xena warrior princess? I think people old enough to remember might spell it wrong!

meandmyboyz · 26/06/2019 19:34

Zena xx
