I heard this in a baby group today and instinctively liked it...

Its got the lovely Free and Sha sound.

Do you think it is wearable as a name?

No.

rubyslippers · 04/01/2016 21:24

No

But then no more odd than lilly I guess (if we're talking flower names)

RusholmeRuffian · 04/01/2016 21:24

No

Kim82 · 04/01/2016 21:24

Is that not Spanish for strawberry? I don't really think it works as a name, sorry.

timelytess · 04/01/2016 21:25

No.

PurpleDaisies · 04/01/2016 21:26

No. It sounds like a name for a cow. Sorry.

5BlueHydrangea · 04/01/2016 21:28

I quite like it..

Backingvocals · 04/01/2016 21:28

Too close to friesian I think. And sadly fuchsia is also unworkable !

LumelaMme · 04/01/2016 21:29

Freezer.
Sorry.

SushiAndTheBanshees · 04/01/2016 21:32

No. Also the flower only has one "e".

Helenluvsrob · 04/01/2016 21:34

Frisian ?

YakTriangle · 04/01/2016 21:34

No it doesn't.
But it's not a good name.

happystory · 04/01/2016 21:45

No. Just because Lily, Daisy, Rose etc are names doesn't mean every flower can be. Carnation? Gladioli? You see?

BOTTERSNIKESandGUMBLES1971 · 04/01/2016 21:47

I immediately thought of flower and cow. Sorry.
It is a pretty flower though.

PunkrockerGirl · 04/01/2016 21:49

Grim.

DiscoDiva70 · 04/01/2016 21:50

It sounds like some kind of air freshener, sorry

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 04/01/2016 21:51

Also the flower only has one "e".

Freesia is the correct spelling. I've never seen it spelled fresia.

Sorry OP, I don't think it works either.

NHKX2 · 04/01/2016 21:56

Nope. It's a pretty word but a horrible name.

Penguito · 04/01/2016 21:59

I like it!

WhatAPigsEar · 04/01/2016 21:59

It's the name of a cow

PurpleDaisies · 04/01/2016 22:02

gasp there's a type of rose called the friesia-maybe that's the freesia with one e?

cece · 04/01/2016 22:45

Makes me think of a cow - poor child.

xmasseason · 05/01/2016 08:55

I thought of a cow too.

SirBoobAlot · 05/01/2016 10:05

No. Just no.

Sounds like a cows name. Like Buttercup.

MissBattleaxe · 05/01/2016 10:08

I like it. So pretty. A bit out there, but I've heard worse.
