These are the two we’ve whittled it down to, which do you like best?

We had Freya down for both of ours, but had 2 boys 😂

Freya. Where I am there are a lot of Olivia's.

Fabulous Freya 👌🥰

I don't like Freya. Olivia's nice. Both are very popular.

Both lovely names. I’m an (awful! 😆) Olivia and have always loved my name, so I’m biased there though.

Gattopardo · 17/06/2025 22:51

They’re both very popular: just choose the one you like the sound of best. I prefer Olivia because of the way it feels when I say it, but it’s completely subjective.

Awww I like them both i usually hate the names mumsnetters pick but their both lovely. Im struggling to pick my favourite I like olivia as it can be shortened to liv as she gets older but I also really like the name Freya. I don't know its really hard. Sorry im not help.

I have taught a gazillian Olivia's and I'm so sick of it! Also too fussy a name for me. Freya is much cooler.

McCartneyOnTheHeath · 17/06/2025 22:46

Freya by a mile.

Shelbellsanddoodles · 17/06/2025 22:46

I would say Freya but it's a bit too common. My daughter has two best friends both named Freya, constant confusion.

HonoriaBulstrode · 17/06/2025 22:43

Freya. I don't like Olivia.

StrongandNorthern · 17/06/2025 22:43

Freya.
Olivia is (frankly) awful.

MustTryHarderAndHarder · 17/06/2025 22:42

Freya

MadamePeriwinkle · 17/06/2025 22:41

Both lovely. I slightly prefer Olivia.

EmiliaRuusuvuori · 17/06/2025 22:39

They are both lovely but Freya slightly edges it.

ScoliMum · 17/06/2025 22:38

Olivia. Freya is too frilly

BootballJoy · 17/06/2025 22:36

Freya. Olivia is good too though.

Freya
