Does this work with our surname?

[mamablondie2]

So Freya is pretty much the only name I really love for Baby 3. However I keep thinking It doesn’t work with our surname which is Saker.

Does Freya Saker sound okay? I can’t decide if I’m over thinking. Thanks

Does it rhyme with baker? If so you're right, it does sound a bit weird. Freya is a lovely name though.

I don’t like it but I can’t decide why

Mmmm not really I'm afraid. It's clunky, you have to say it rather slowly for it to not just sound like one odd word. I wouldn't, sorry.

In fact I would avoid any name ending in -a with that surname, the 'a' will always run straight into the 's' to make an 'as' sound in the middle. It jars.

You’re over thinking it. Freya is a lovely name and if you love it then that’s all that matters.

No it does sound quite strange I’m afraid

I think it’s nice. It’s a bit clunky but I don’t think that matters. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would avoid due to F Sake(r)

I can’t see the issue? Freya is a lovely name, unless I’m missing something obvious I think it sounds fine with your surname.

No. It sounds like fucks sake.

Freya is a nice name but I don’t think it goes, sorry.

Sounds good enough for me. Don't overthink it if you love the name.

If your set on Freya you could double barrel the first name?
I've seen it so often recently.

Oh god yes! F. Saker = Fuck's Saker!

No no no.

sah-cahr or Say-Kerr?

I am actually saying for Freya Saker now instead of FFS. That works really well.

If Freya rhymes with baker than no, it’s just a mouthful of sounds that aren’t easy to say and don’t work well together. I don’t think you can really use anything ending in an a sound with that surname. What about Florence?

You're overthinking
Freya is lovely and works perfectly

Too close to F(uck's) Sake(r)

Oh God, it really doesn't 😬. And Freya is a really beautiful name...

I agree with @Whatsyourflava - totally overthinking it. It’s a huge stretch to say it sounds anything like ‘fuck sake’. Absolutely fine - i would go for it
