Opinions on Freya please

[Exhaustedmummy1811]

I am currently expecting a little girl and I am in love with the name Freya (her middle name will be Rose) but everyone I have told has said they hate it! I already have Dylan, Noah, Isabelle-mae and Olivia (hope this isn't outing) other than Freya the only other name I like is Evelyn or Evie, her middle name will be Rose regardless of first name.
Why are so many people not keen Freya?

Freja will get called Fredge-ah. Stick with Freya.

I think it's a bit faddy and mediocre. There will be 5 in her class and in 20 years it will be like a "Sharon" or a "Donna" name

Freya is fine.

I have a 22 year old Freya, was unusual then
Which goes to show it makes no difference really, what’s original now might become very popular in 20 years time for other names
I still like the name, obviously.

Since I heard the etymology of Freya from the Norse goddess I always thought it was a really cool, strong girl's name.

I love the name Freya. I also love Evie.
Both names are around a lot now so it depends how you feel about that? I have a a teenage Oliver and there’s always another Oliver everywhere we go, in sports clubs, schools etc. Think it’s a bit annoying for him

I like the name Freya, it's lovely. Popular though (3 kids in DC's class)

I have an Evelyn Rose so may be biased but that's the best one

Beautiful name. I know one and she's one magical human

Also like the old norse spelling Freyja.

DS2's best friend. Love it.

If you want to name your kid after a goddess of sex and fertility then go ahead...

It's lovely. I think it's like the Rachel of this generation (I like Rachel too).

But op... I know three Freya Roses. And several more Freyas where I don't know middle names. It does go nicely with your others though.

I love the name Freya.

I like the name and know a lovely girl (teen now) called Freya.

I really like it - and only ever met one (who is now 17). I do think it depends where you live, as to popularity, but as you have already said that wouldnt bother you too much, then I think you should go for it.

I like the name myself but it's so popular and we avoid common names.

My friend has called hers Freyja which is the norse way of spelling it.

Lovely name, so is Astrid.
Astrid Rose?

I love Freya and know a really lovely woman in her 20s called that.
I don’t like Evie which is really just a diminutive of Eve or Evelyn etc. It may suit a young girl but not so suitable for a grown woman.

I love Freya! Reminds me of some sort of majestic Queen of Ice & Snow. I've never met one, but I live in the U.S.

Good luck & Congratulations!
