Twin sister name to go with Freya

103 replies

Hi,

We’ve recently found out we are expecting twin girls. We like Freya for one twin but not sure about what to call the second twin. Ideally we’d like a name beginning with A. Any suggestions please? X

My first thought was Erin or Iona but then I saw you wanted A how about

Alice
Alba
Ava
Annabelle
Amber
Ada

I teach twins called Freya and Alice, and another Freya with a younger sister Alice!

Wow, thank you for the suggestions, it’s really kind of you all!

My husband really likes Ariella, which we hadn’t thought of before. And he vetoes most names I suggest so that is a real bonus.

I also really like Astrid and Athena. Another name on our short list is Alba. Thanks again everyone!

Just from your title I immediately thought Freya and Erin. Having seen you prefer 'A' names I then thought Amy.

Freya and Astrid is a lovely combination.

Before I read the “starting with an A” I thought of these:

Freya and Maeve
Freya and Grace
Freya and Seren
Freya and Lydia

MarshaBradyo · 01/07/2022 22:37

Weirdly I thought an A name before reading op

Annie - although I don’t love the name it just came to me, so something like that

Noorandapples · 01/07/2022 22:33

Yes to Astrid suggestions, also
Adelaide
Ada
Aoife
Aine

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 01/07/2022 22:13

Freya and
Alicia
Alice.
Amber.
Alexis.

Love Freya & Astrid, both Norse origin😊

I love this combination too. Works so well together.

I also thought that naming two sisters after Goddesses of War would be inviting argumentative teenage years!

Although I thought Freyja was the Goddess of fertility

I believe it's fertility and war among other things...multitalented!
