Frey?

[cinnamonbun]

I really wanted Freya but found out yesterday we're having a boy. Is Frey too weird? Also, we have a one-syllable surname, is Frey too short do you think?

Too wierd.Sorry. Save it for the next one!

Suppose you have a girl later - you'd be disappointed you couldn't use Freya! Hang on to it :-)

Like around the edge of fabric?

I'll go against the consensus and I really like it! I saw the title and was about to put, I think this is a boys name, but you obviously have that covered. It is easy to pronounce, nice sounding and different.

I'd say go on and be brave, don't little others define what you should name your child, let him define what the name means!

P.S. Should add my DS has an unusual but simple name and it suits him down to the ground, people often comment how lovely it is! Pregnant with DS2 and have an equally unusual but simple name lined up.

I know a little Frey. He lives in the UK but is half Swedish. Frey was one of the most important Norse Gods so it is a real boy's name. I like it.

I think the male version is Freyr

Is it said "Fray" or "Fry"?

I quite like It if its said "Fry". Fray not so much.

Freyr is indeed the ancient Norse version but the common anglicised version (even used in Sweden) is Frey.

I really really like it.

I think two 1-syllable names is too short. I think you should save Freya for if you have a girl, I don't really like Frey.

I loved it both times I was pg before, but dh hates it so much that I haven't even mentioned it this time round :(

Tbh I am not overkeen on Freya for a girl, but think Frey for a boy is classic but really fresh-sounding and I love it. However, dh says it "sounds made up". I think it's a love it or loathe it type name.

Too strange (but then I think Freya sounds odd as well).

Fray Bentos meat pie

Noooo! Sorry.

Well, I don't like Freya (sounds like someone who can't say 'th' to me for some reason), so to me Frey for a boy simply because you didn't have a girl to call Freya sounds massively contrived.

Too much like fray, which means a fight or riot.
or 'frayed at the edges'.

What about

Theo
Fred
Seth
Wilf
