Love the name Freya, but can't have it- suggestions please

Friend has called dd Freya. Unfortunately it was top of our shortlist

We have a long and unusual surname so need something with 2 syllables, not too unusual (but pref not too common), and ideally not ending in an ee sound.

Suggestions?

Freya is lovely, so how unfortunate for you.

Sticking with the Scandi theme, Astrid?

I never liked Freya until I heard it in Waitrose beign applied to a nice little girl and now I do rather like it!

Anyway, not helping...

Thora or Flora sound similar - nice and soft sounding names. Or how about Esther/Hester?

I agree that Freya is lovely, I have a 4 yo DD called Freya. She can be a bit of a madam though!

We also liked Erin, Charlotte and Poppy
