Our beautiful daughter was born at the weekend and we have finalised our list of girl names down to 2. Of course, I prefer one option and DH prefers the other. He says I have the final decision. Which one to choose.....

Ada?
Or
Freya?

Middle name Louise 😊

Freya.

Freya

Call her Louise. Ada will get mixed up with Ava and similar names. Freya makes me think of frayed

Ayda spelt like this. Freya is massively common but inoffensive.

FayCarew · 29/03/2023 15:16

Ayda is awful.

Freya

Freya, definitely!

kezzieliza · 29/03/2023 15:21

I like them equally.

IamThegreaterMole · 29/03/2023 15:24

Freya

Sandysandwich · 29/03/2023 15:24

Both are lovely, personally I prefer Freya

BreviloquentBastard · 29/03/2023 15:25

I've got a Freja so I'm definitely biased towards Freya, but they're both lovely so I don't think you can go far wrong with either!

mumonherphone · 29/03/2023 15:55

Congratulations! Both nice names but Freya gets my vote.

Twoinapod · 29/03/2023 15:56

Freya, Ada is too common as well as all the Ava, ayla, Eva style names so just seems overdone. Freya is lovely

Ada, dislike Freya

pjani · 29/03/2023 15:58

Ada for the Ada Lovelace association. That woman was a rockstar! So very strong in my mind.

👋😁 hi @BabyTalbot1 I love Freya, we had it on our list for DD

justmyluck1234 · 29/03/2023 16:01

I do like both names a lot, however I feel Ada is less common ( at least where I am based) so I feel I would slightly edge more towards that one.

Whichever you choose, your little one is going to have a lovey name.

Freya

Newnamenewname109870 · 29/03/2023 16:01

I much prefer Ada as Freya is everywhere

Newnamenewname109870 · 29/03/2023 16:02

Freida is the best!

m00rfarm · 29/03/2023 16:16

Ada

bobby81 · 29/03/2023 16:19

Congratulations! Freya would be my choice but both are lovely.
