If we like Frieda, what else might we like?

[telllaura]

We have Nancy, Otto and Isaac already and would like the Germanic connection. Frieda the forerunner for this one but what else might we be missing? And does Frieda work?

I like it. I also really like Greta if that’s any good?

The Thunberg connection plays on my mind, but I love the name.

Bjorn, Benny and Agnetha?

Freya is lovely I think

Oh I hadn’t thought of her (I know a Greta so the name is hers, if you know what I mean), but there are worse associations for sure.

We are both teachers and have encountered far too many Freya’s to use it, but a very pretty name!

These are all great, thank you!

These are very much my sort of name - I have a Greta, love Frieda (although I’d spell it Frida) and really like all your existing children’s names OP - Nancy was another one we considered for DD.

Also on our (not very short!) shortlist were:

Aster
Aphra
Merryn
Marin/Maren
Vita
Flora
Cleo/Clio
Helena (Lena)
Honor
Hazel
Stella
Annika

I LOVE Frieda and had a very dear aunt with that name. DH vetoed it though 😭

What about Enid, Margot, Astrid, Ingrid or Heidi?

Astrid, Liesel, Agnes all seem to fit your bill.

But Frida is great, what's putting you off?

Liesel or Nina / Nena

Frieda is great and goes well with your other names. I would also suggest Elke and maybe Saskia.

I love Dana but I’m having a boy!
