My trainee mw is called Freya, which I think is lovely. I've never heard anyone called it before so it must be pretty unusual.

But then I looked it up on here and it told me among other things "many other pegs at nursery will say Freya" and that it's for "poncey unoriginal parents" Confused

What's the collective opinion, do you know tons of Freyas? Or is it so weird and far-out as to be 'poncey'?

It is a gorgeous name and not poncey at all IMO. Unfortunately it did get quite popular quite fast meaning it might end up seen as a "fad" name :( but I love it anyway.

I really like it, but I know 4, all between 11 and 8 yo.

I know loads of little Freyas. It's very popular round here.

I wouldn't say it was poncy either.
