Fritha

What do you think of this name, I think it's fresh but not too out there. Not sure how others would view it though.

Haha ! Fritha! Don't know how to edit title.

You can report your post and ask for mnhq to amend the title.

Fritha is nice. Froths not so much.

definite not Froths. Not loving Fritha either though, it’s a bit awkward on the tongue.

Oh, thank goodness you didn't mean Froths
I like Fritha!

Froths is too out there, @kobo.

I've met a Fritha. It's quite pretty and seems a bit scandi or norse. I'd not use it in areas where th sounds like f

Froths!! OMG, OP, I thought you were out of your mind!

Fritha... I'm not the biggest fan tbh. Makes me think of the rabbit god from Watership Down and Vikings, but it's not awful.

Autocorrecting to "Froths" is probably a drawback...

Sounds really "spitty" and no one will understand it so she (he??) would be endlessly repeating it or spelling it - "Tricia?" "No Fritha! - rhymes with...?" I'm afraid it sounds like someone struggling to say something else with a speech impediment

Fritha isn't great, it's very lispy-sounding. It's better than Froths though

😂😂😂

I'd be tempted to stick with Frida since it is much more well known, but Fritha is kinda cool (has a stronger ancient or Viking image to me for some reason).

Fritha sounds like someone with a lisp trying to say something else! How about Freya?

Hi there, @kobo - to avoid further confusion and unintended hilarity, we've now edited your thread title, as requested. That said, we reckon 'Froths' has a certain charm

I see what you mean about it being lispy. I think it sounds light, I like Frida too, but it has a very different feel to me. Also while I hugely admire Frida Kahlo, I wouldn't want people to assume that's who she was named after. Froths is growing on me the more I say it. 😂

Froths 😭

Haha ! Fritha! Don't know how to edit title.

Not a fan, I'm sorry. And I like original names.

Fritha is the name of the girl in The Snow Goose by Paul Gallico. A lovely story.

Lovely name too.

Frith means 'peace' in Old English :-)

Is it with a short i or an ee sound?

Fr i tha
Or
Fr ee tha?

I like Freetha

Fritha is the name of the girl in Rosemary Sutcliff’s The Shield Ring. I like it.

I like it written down, but finding it quite awkward to say out loud.

Not that my appalling formation of 'th' sounds should put you off, of course, but I do think it will end up as 'friffa'.

It's pretty but I imagine people would say "freefah"

SleepingStandingUp it's a short i
Watercoloursky I really like the peace meaning, it's a beautiful reference.

BoreOfWhabylon and skeggycaggy looking up The snow goose and The Shield Ring. ClashCityRocker Friffa is awful, definitely something to think about.

Here's a recording of it being read @kobo.

I don’t like it as it’s not easy to say. It sounds awkward.
