Frigga

[HG6503]

I'm a pagan and super interested in the Norse mythology so want to call my baby girl Frigga after Odin's wife but my boyfriend says it sounds stupid and wants to call her Janice. How boring is that?! There is no way I'm naming my poor baby Janice! I want her to have something original and spiritual. I think Frigga's perfect.

What do other mums and mums-to-be think?

Anybody else interested in Norse mythological names for babies?

How about Franice?

I second the

No disrespect to people called Janice. (My boyfriend's mum is called Janice and she's really great.)

I have to be honest - I think you are setting her up for an awful lot of teasing with frigga - as meaningful as it may be. I'm speaking as someone with no knowledge of Norse mythology and I will be in the majority. Sorry.

Freja is better, imo. Frigga sounds somewhat dodgy!

Do it, do it- it's a great idea, and really unusual. I bet nobody else will be giving their baby a name which looks like the feminine form of wanker.

Janice is awful

She can always shorten it to Frigg if Frigga gets her teased as they're both names for the same goddess.

Frigga, as in frigger? Have you said it to anyone in real life?

Ah, I realise now this is a joke.

Nerthus
Gudrun
Brunhild
Saule
Skadi
Ingeborg

All nicer than Frigga! Not the nicest mythology for names, is it?

frigga frig ahhh >>>>runs away quickly

I know a baby girl born last year called Frigg.

Oh wow @ belgo.

I prefer Janice to Frigga...............

Frig-ing Hell!!

yes get all sorts of names round here. Everyone gets used to it.

No, no, no. It's not nice. She won't thank you. She may tell you to frigg off earlier than normal...

No.

I also know an Eros and a Thor.

oooh, my sides.

No, really.

On the very slim chance you aren't a troll (and if you are why bother?) you do know what Frigger means don't you?

Of course its a bloody stupid thing to call your daughter!

sorry but I think it is friggin awful. are you a troll per chance??
