Cora

I love Orla.

I went to school with a bully called Freya and Cora reminds me of a character on Once Upon A Time (the evil queens mother!)

Orla.

Orla or Freya are both lovely names.

I don't like Cora at all.

I like Cora and Orla (but only if you're pronouncing the R, don't like either in non-rhotic accents!). Don't like Freya but no idea why. Nice names!

Mixed views! Would Orla be the standard spelling of that name? Or would the Gaelic ? spelling of Orlaith be more traditional? Non traditional spellings are a pet hate!

Cora is lovely.

What about Laura or Clara.

I agree about Orla sounding awful in a non-rhotic accent, so it's Ola, rather than Orrrla. All three are nice, OP, but Freya seems awfully popular around here if that bothers you...?

In Ireland, Orla is far more used than Orlaith these days.

Freya is a beautiful name the little Freya I know is always complimented on it!

Orla or Cora

Orla is a beautiful name.
Freya is over used imo.
Cora is lovely too...does make me think of apple cores a bit but that's not too bad!

Thanks for opinions- just had to google non-rhotic! That wouldn't be a problem said around here, but obviously if DD was to move and her name was said weirdly that would a consideration!

In terms of Freya being popular, I do keep seeing it high up in lists, but genuinely don't know a single one despite having other children! Being overly popular would put me off...

I like Orla

Freya is over used

I knew a SUPER annoying girl at college called Cora, and my cousins horrible stinky dog is called Cora!

What about Isla?

Weirdly I know loads more Isla's than Freya's but that may be a local thing!

Orla is fine in Irish, as are Orlaith and Orlagh. Personally I'd go with Orla, no need to complicate things unnecessarily!

I teach in a primary school. I think about every second class has a Freya...a couple of them have two!

Freya lovely but too many. However not everyone gives a hoot about popularity.
Orla. Really dislike this
Cora is gorgeous. Very classy and very underused.

Omg! We have these 3 on our list too!

Sadly I'll be of no help. But you have great taste!

I'm leaning more towards Cora or Orla.

I like Freya, also like Lara and Tara

All are lovely names, although Freya us overly popular in some areas.

If you're still looking for alternatives, have you considered Ciara? You could anglicise the spelling to Keira or Kiera, but I think the original Irish spelling is much prettier.

My best friend, dogs name and middle name have all been suggested as alternatives- excellent taste! I am leaning towards Cora. DH set on Freya but he is less bothered by popularity than me. Orla is the wild card that may swing it!
