Where do Freyas live?

If you know a lot of Freyas, where do you live and is there a glut of them? I am 99% certain that I will choose this name but only on mumsnet have I heard it being described as too popular/overused, so maybe it will be less ubiquitous where I am in the West of Scotland? I know it is in the top 20 names in Scotland but it's hard to work out what that means... Nearly one child per class with be called Freya?? not good at stats btw

I live in the east of Scotland and I have a Freya. I know of three others, two here and one near Glasgow. I know it's a top 20 name but I haven't come across many.

In Scotland get you can get a detailed break down of baby names by council area, this is a snapshot of Highland council which is where I assume you are.

Where do Freyas live?

And by snapshot I mean screenshot of the website.

If DS1 had been a girl he would have been Freya (almost 10 years ago and SW). I know of at least 1 in his class.
