Freya.. how popular? Is that a bad thing?

Myself and DP seem to have settled on the name Freya. It goes will with our other two children’s names and it’s possibly the only name we both like.

I think it’s pretty, not too frilly and not too long either.
I also like that Freya (or Freyja, though I wouldn’t spell it like that) is a goddess.

So, the only negative thing I can think of is that it’s a bit more popular than I thought. I don’t know any Freya’s so maybe it’s not as popular in my area as it is in others.
How popular is it for everyone else? Would you say it’s nice enough to overlook? I find that it’s a name that isn’t trying to be different to it’s not as bad that it’s a bit more popular.

I don’t know any young Freya’s.

I know of two 2020 babies called Freya

As someone else said Freya has been steadily rising over the last few years and entered the top 10 for the first time last year so it may be that you don't know many older kids but there will be loads of your baby's age. Maybe proven by the fact someone you know has chosen it.

Other suggestions would be
Georgia
Thea
Alba
Luna
