Our beautiful daughter was born at the weekend and we have finalised our list of girl names down to 2. Of course, I prefer one option and DH prefers the other. He says I have the final decision. Which one to choose.....

Ada?
Or
Freya?

Middle name Louise 😊

Ada for the Ada Lovelace association. That woman was a rockstar! So very strong in my mind.

Yes! This was my first thought too.

Ada

ChrisPPancake · 29/03/2023 19:12

I prefer Ada.

WildAloofRebel · 29/03/2023 18:54

Freya for me! Know squillions of Ada/Ava/Eve/Eva/Evie/Edie s.

Ada

Freya. Such a pretty name. Ada is an old lady name to me, and sounds harsher to me for some reason.

Ada. I know lots of Freyas.

Twazique · 29/03/2023 17:53

Ada Louise is perfect! Lovely!

BevMarsh · 29/03/2023 17:51

Freya Louise would be my choice.

embarrassed23 · 29/03/2023 17:47

Ada. Freya is so overused

Freya

Love Ada

I love Freya more than Ada, but Ada Louise sounds nicer to me. (although Freya Louise is still good). Either way, they're both really lovely names. I do actually know a Freya who has a mum called Louise. 😂

I'd say if you have the final decision, go for the one you love the most considering they're both lovely names either way.

PurpleReindeer2 · 29/03/2023 16:30

Ada better than Freya

bobby81 · 29/03/2023 16:19

Congratulations! Freya would be my choice but both are lovely.

m00rfarm · 29/03/2023 16:16

Ada

Newnamenewname109870 · 29/03/2023 16:02

Freida is the best!

Newnamenewname109870 · 29/03/2023 16:01

I much prefer Ada as Freya is everywhere

DustyLee123 · 29/03/2023 16:01

Freya

I do like both names a lot, however I feel Ada is less common ( at least where I am based) so I feel I would slightly edge more towards that one.

Whichever you choose, your little one is going to have a lovey name.
