Freya by far but there are an awful lot of them. I don’t like Ada at all -v ugly I think - but it’s getting v popular
Adela, Frieda, Flora, Stella, Zara, Tessa, Thora, Aster, Oona, Honor, Esther may be alternatives

Freya, Ada is too much like aiden

Classica · 27/08/2021 19:29

Freya.

I've always though of Ada as being a scullery maid type name. A bit of a drudge. Same with Ida.

peaceinourtime · 27/08/2021 19:15

I prefer Freya of the two but spelt Freja with the j.

GalaxyGirl24 · 27/08/2021 18:00

Freya :)

Freya

Balonzette · 25/08/2021 06:55

Ada

Elspethelf · 25/08/2021 06:35

I like both, I like Ada the best :)

OhYeahyeahyeah · 25/08/2021 05:01

Ada but both equally popular at the moment!

mathanxiety · 25/08/2021 04:36

Ada.

There are thousands and thousands of Freyas.

Chunkymenrock · 25/08/2021 04:06

Freya. Ada is so frumpy and such an ugly name.

Lemonlemon88 · 25/08/2021 03:47

Ada but Freya is very nice too.

octoberfarm · 25/08/2021 03:15

Ada. It's beautiful!

MrsBertBibby · 25/08/2021 03:10

Ada.

Orangestarfish · 24/08/2021 23:57

Ada. Freya is also nice but feels a bit more dated as was very popular a few years ago. I'd actually go for pp's suggestion of Frida - beautiful, strong and underused.

earthyfire · 24/08/2021 23:29

I like both but would probably go with Freya

OliveBranch16 · 24/08/2021 22:54

I like Ada!

LittleDoritt · 24/08/2021 22:00

I love both but Ada would win for me.

SquigglePigs · 24/08/2021 21:29

Freya although both are ok.

cactijones · 24/08/2021 21:20

Freya

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 24/08/2021 21:05

Freya

Heruka · 24/08/2021 21:02

Ada. And Freda!

PeskyRooks · 24/08/2021 21:00

@Member589500

Ada. But Freda!!
It was meant tongue in cheek to be fair but really Freda is no worse than Ada! Both friends of my nan's
Cbeebiesrehab · 24/08/2021 20:50

Ada 100%
Met a lot of Freyas and it has definitely lost its charm with me sorry.

User16838 · 24/08/2021 20:23

These were my top 2 names! And we ended up choosing Ada because it is slightly less popular. Freya is a top 10 name and I didn’t want her to have loads in her class. But I still love the name and now I’m wondering if we should have another so I have a chance to get to use it!
