@Elouera

Freyja is the ancient Norse way to spell it

Freyja is a Norse Goddess and part of the Vanir.

OP, I think it's a beautiful name

It's ok, but Frey as a nn isn't.
It's a name that is nice if you only know one or two. It's about No 16 in the top names, so she could end up one of several in her year at school.
I only know one and she's in her 30s.

I like it.

I know lots between the ages of 14 and 18. I don't know any younger though.

I know 2 and like it. one has an odd spelling though 'Freyja' which I don't like, as she has to spell it constantly as its always misspelt!

I only know a couple. Love it.
