I keep seeing this name pop up for the last couple of days (off nameberry) and was curious what everyone thought of it? Being in [name_u]America[/name_u], I have NEVER met or heard of one.
What do you think of [name_f]Freya[/name_f]? What kind of person is this?
Does anyone else think it sounds “off” in an American accent or Texan one for that matter.
Honestly, I have never meet someone from the south so I can’t recall the accent down there except for movies, which wouldn’t work because I like old movies and I haven’t heard southern accents in any of them or at least noticed. So I’m no use to that part but I have heard of [name_f]Freya[/name_f]. A lot of it actually, it might even be the next [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] or something because everyone that I know is raving about [name_f]Freya[/name_f]. It is a lovely name I will admit, but for me it’s a GP. Simply for the fact that I’m bilingual and it’s sounds weird in the other language (Spanish).
[name_u]Love[/name_u] the name [name_f]Freya[/name_f]. Hubby wouldn’t like it.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] this name. I love the image and I think this name fits both dark haired and blond haired girl, even though the goddess herself was blone, but I think F names fits brown haired children quite nicely.
I love this name, I’ve heard it once or twice in [name_f]England[/name_f] where I do think it sounds better due to the accent(s). It rolls off the tongue beautifully and it’s very soft-sounding. I think it suits a brunette more than a blonde although I could imagine [name_f]Freya[/name_f] on both.
It is not the most unusual name in the UK but I could see it being fresh in the US. I do like it although it does seem a bit light and nothingy sometimes.
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] is gorgeous - I adore her. I can’t comment on her usability in [name_u]America[/name_u] though I’m afraid - I haven’t any idea. Here in [name_m]Oz[/name_m] I’ve met two girls with the name [name_f]Freya[/name_f] (one five–she had a twin named [name_f]Anais[/name_f]–and the other sixteen) and it worked brilliantly on both of them.
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] is popular in the UK and Scandinavia (though with different spellings). I think it has a very pretty sound and I love the connection with the Norse goddess (probably because of her, I picture a tall, blonde [name_f]Sigrid[/name_f] Agren type).
I love the twinset of [name_f]Freya[/name_f] and [name_f]Anais[/name_f]! Cute.
I don’t get the appeal at all and u usually love English names
I know lots, most of whom are under the age of 13 (I’m in [name_f]England[/name_f]) and so can see it not being too unusual in [name_u]America[/name_u], but I’m not a fan of the sound. For me, a large part of the appeal of mythological names is the association one immediately makes with the mythological character in question; [name_f]Freya[/name_f], while pretty, is used often enough that it no longer conjures up the goddess for me. This might, obviously, be a good thing, seeing as she is quite a figure to live up to (goddess of beauty and all that)! I also think of [name_f]Freya[/name_f] lingerie - having just typed [name_f]Freya[/name_f] into google, that is the first thing that comes up as well.
