A Middle For Freyja

I’ve recently added some new names to my list, so now I’m on the search for middles. I have a couple ideas for Freyja, but I’m having a difficult time narrowing down to one. I usually go for a unusual and classic/honor name combination, but for some reason I’m not feeling it for Freyja. Could I have some honest thoughts on the combos below?

ETA: Dropping Tinuviel and Bellatrix. Also came up with some more combos!

Freyja Rosalind
Freyja Madeleine
Freyja Katherine
Freyja Lillian

Freyja Tinuviel - Too unusual? I adore this one, but I think it might stick out in a sibling set of classic/unusual names. I’m a bookworm, so I really like that it has a literary connection. Nice combined meaning also - lady nightingale.

Freyja [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] - I like this for the same reasons I like Tinuviel with Freyja. The connection to literature and to [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_m]Granger[/name_m] wins me over. The only negative I can think of is that I also like [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] as a first name.

Freyja [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f] - I like the meaning and the flow, but it has a bad association with the [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] character. I’m actually quite surprised that I like [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f] because I dislike [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] due to the -trix ending. Can you look past the evilness that is [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f] Lestrange when you see [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f] or is it ruined?

Freyja [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] - No issues with this one. I like the flow and love [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]. It’s my least favorite out of the four though.

I don’t care for any of them, tbh. The first three are all way too heavily associated with their characters (especially because those series were so recently made into big blockbusters). [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] I don’t really care for anyway and I find Freyja so ethereal to begin with that [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] pushes it too far.

If I had to pick one I guess I would go with Freyja [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] because she is the better namesake, but none of them are as nice as [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] or [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] in your sig.

Freyja [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] would be my choice - I like the stately [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] paired with whimsical Freyja. Freyja Tinuviel does stick out for me as different from your other names stylistically, but that wouldn’t matter with a middle anyway. I agree with you, I’m not sure whether I love Freyja [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], although I like it very much. Maybe it’s because both names are very popular in my area (with the [name_f]Freya[/name_f] spelling) but it just doesn’t seem as special as your other girl options. [name_f]Katarina[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] and [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] particularly are gorgeous!

Thank you both! Between the four I’m leaning towards Freyja [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]. Nearly all my combos have honor/family names, so I dug up my list of family names and came up with these:

Freyja [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] ([name_f]Rose[/name_f])
Freyja [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] ([name_f]Mattye[/name_f])
Freyja [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f] ([name_f]Sarah[/name_f])
Freyja [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] ([name_f]Rose[/name_f])

Some others I like:
Freyja [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
Freyja [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
Freyja [name_f]Viviana[/name_f]
Freyja [name_f]Violeta[/name_f]
Freyja [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
Freyja [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]

That’s the issue for me. I’ve reached a stalemate with any new girl combinations. Nothing interests me anymore or matches up to the ones I have already.

Thank you! :slight_smile: I’m going to drop Tinuviel. I like putting my guilty pleasure names in the middle, but with Freyja it’s a bit much.

Flow-wise my favourite is definitely Freyja [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]. I also really like Freyja [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]. Some of the others just don’t have the natural flow that these two have or feel a like a bit much. Freyja [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] feels very heavy to me, for example, due to the j in Freyja which makes the name quite heavy compared to [name_f]Freya[/name_f] (I like both spellings but they do feel different to me).

Thank you for your thoughts! I didn’t notice it at first, but I can definitely see what you mean about Freyja [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]. I’m leaning towards Freyja [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]. I’m quite surprised because [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] has never interested me before, but I really love it with Freyja. I’m glad that I saw it in a old name thread! I think my backup will be Freyja [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] or Freyja [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] just in case I end up using [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f] on a future daughter.

I love Freyja, especially with this spelling, though it’s on the popularity GP list for now. I love the sound of Freyja [name_f]Hermione[/name_f], and I love [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] in general although I’d maybe steer clear if you see yourself adding it as a first. It’d be a shame to leave [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] in the middle when using it as a first is a possibility.

Freyja [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] is nice, and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] definitely captures Freyjas mysterious, slightly dark and ornate side. Plus it reminds me of my current Freyja combo, Freyja [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]. But I’ve always been a bit on/off with [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], I’m not sure if the -angeline part is just too sweet sounding.

Freyja [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] I really like, probably because I just love [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]. Charming and vintage, and grounds Freyja slightly, plus there’s the [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] association that I love as well. It feels a bit more meaningful than [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], although maybe that’s just to me.

I’m not really feeling [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], or [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] as middles for Freyja. Whilst they sound lovely, and flow well, they just seem to fall flat I guess (sorry), when in combination with Freyja. [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] I like, since there’s a little more spark, feistiness and flare.

Freyja [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] is so dreamy

I like Freyja [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] the best. I’d keep [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] as a middle name, personally. Got to say, though— love Freyja! The traditional spelling is so under-appreciated. :smiley:

Freyja [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
Freyja [name_f]Indira[/name_f]
Freyja [name_f]Linnet[/name_f]
Freyja [name_f]Bonita[/name_f]
Freyja [name_f]Marryann[/name_f]
Freyja [name_f]Begonia[/name_f]
Freyjan [name_f]Lolita[/name_f]
Freyja [name_f]Florene[/name_f]
Freyja [name_f]Davina[/name_f]
Freyja Gerldean
Freyja [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]
Freyja [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]

Best Wishes*

I think Freyja is so light and airy-fairy to me. I really only see it with:

Freyja [name_f]Joy[/name_f]

If you wanted to sort of anchor it so to speak and give it a conservative Victorian fell then:

Freyja jane

Thank you everyone for your thoughts! I’m very happy to see other Freyja fans. :slight_smile: I was 50/50 between Freyja [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] and Freyja [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], but just couldn’t see myself giving up my [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f] combo so I’m going with Freyja [name_f]Hermione[/name_f].

@myosotis
I actually really love Freyja [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. I considered adding it to my list, but the popularity aspect with [name_f]Freya[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] combined swayed me away from it. [name_f]Freya[/name_f] has made a huge jump in ranks from 906 to 584 in just one year and I have a feeling it’d going to jump more in the next few years.

Thanks again!
