I love the name Freya for my 4th girl, due very soon. It's popular in my area but my extended family in the Manchester area seem to never have heard of it and all of them laughed at it. Opinions needed.

I love it but there are far too many around here - I think it will turn into the new Tracey in a few years.

I love it, DD was almost Freya. Don't think it's particularly common here although not unheard of iyswim.

Like it, but very popular at the moment.

Lovely name, very pretty. It is very popular here in the south west.

Funny, you should say about Manchester, I live in North Manchester and I know 5!

I know loads, it is very pretty though.

I love the name, and would have given it to my daughter if dh hadn't thought it was a bit too off the wall (he's a very conservative-with-a-small-c man).

It's not hugely common around here - one child in the infants school I work at has the name, there are none in the junior school.

too common imo
