How would you spell Frida, Frieda, Freida?

If our baby is a girl, we are going to give her this middle name. It was my beloved grandmother's so PLEASE try not to criticise it. We'd just love some help with the spelling.

(the reason we aren't giving her my grandmother's spelling is that it was spelt Freda and I don't like that spelling as it looks too much like "Fred").

I am leaning towards Frida because of the wonderful artist. But then Frieda is nice because of the Ted Hughes poem.

Let me know what you think. Thanks

Frieda, definitely

Frida looks like it should be pronounced like Frid-ah (as in fridge) rather than Freeda which is presumably what you'd be after

I would go for Frida because of Kahlo as well - lovely name btw

Frieda I think
Frida looks a bit like Friday without a y?
