Last two names

Robyn
or
Freya

Which do you prefer and what do the names 'say' to you? Thank you :-)

Robyn sounds a bit dull and not feminine. Freya is a mid-range name ok but not very special.

I really dislike Robyn, it’s so wet. Freya is ok but hugely popular, feels like I hear it a lot.

I really like Robyn, and to me it's a strong sounding name for a girl. I like girls names that end in 'n' generally.

I'm not so keen on Freya, nothing wrong with it, just a bit bland to me.

I like them both. I suppose Freya's a bit more ethereal but Robyn's more unusual.

I thought I liked Robyn then a friend had a Robyn and I’ve gone off it. It’s not very feminine I think. Freya is nicer.

I don't like Robyn. It sounds ugly and a little American to me. I think Freya is a very good name - elegant and pretty yet strong.

Love both but I'd personally go with Robyn just

because Freya's becoming quite popular.

(Don't know what happened to split these comments - apologies!)

Like Robyn, much nicer alternative to the weirdly popular Rowan. Really do not like Freya, feels dumpy and unattractive.

In my humble opinion
Robyn- 90's vibe, retro, cool, and streetwise.
Freya- kind of earthy and spiritual.

If I had to choose I'd go with Freya.

I love the name Freya, it such a beautiful sounding name. However it is extremely popular but if you love the name that shouldn't put you off

Robyn

Too many Freya from 2000 to 2020 the name will date. Not necessarily badly but like Claire.

I like robyn

Love Robyn

Freya is a lovely timeless name.

Robyn always looks odd, is the y supposed to make Robin more feminine? It sounds like an American from the era of shoulder padded suits in the 1980s to me.

It"s lovely but it certainly isn't timeless.

Freya isn’t timeless.

Why are all names declared timeless.

Love them both, although much prefer the straightforward Robin spelling - Robyn is 70s weirdness, it’s long been a unisex name

Freya I think is elegant and slightly mystical, Robin sparky and fun.

Freya was massively overused for a long time, so it won’t stand out as it should. Robin seems very popular now, but not yet at the stage of being overused although there are other popular and very similar names eg Rowan

I think Freya is probably more unusual right now (check on dark greener) if so I’d go for that

Although there is always Thora, which really needs a revival
