Freja... but not

I like the name Freja, husband would spell it Freya (don't want to burden a child with having to spell out their name all the time...).
But we know a couple of Freja's and so would prefer to use something else. I also like Maja, Maisie, Margot, Fern ... but all of these are names of friends/relatives!

So... Any ideas for something similar tone to above names, and spellable 😁 ?

Margot and Fern are two of my favourite girl names! If they are kids of distantish relatives, I'd use them anyway. I have found that I'm less in touch with cousins etc since we all had dc. One of my dcs hasn't met some of my cousins! Actually two of my cousins haven't met either of my dcs.

How about:

Cora
Rosa
Saskia
Harriet

But Margot or Fern are so lovely. Unless they're really closely related and / or
live nearby, so you will see them a lot, I'd use them.

I've know and have met women/girls with these names if you like Freja -
Ida (can be spelt "Iida" but "Ida" is the easiest spelling for English speakers)
Eva
Iris
Katla
Elin
Alina
Lina
Luna
Ilona
Matilda
Minna
Birta
