Opinions on Freyja and others

I ave been looking recently for names that are unusual but not too out there. I am a fan of names based off of mythology and literature. [name_m]Just[/name_m] want to know your thoughts on these names and if you have any suggestions!

Freyja
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u]
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_u]Ripley[/name_u]
[name_u]Sloane[/name_u]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f]
[name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f]
Europa
[name_f]Ofelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Athena[/name_f], [name_u]Artemis[/name_u], and [name_f]Lyra[/name_f]! I also love [name_f]Freya[/name_f], but I personally prefer it without the “J” (even though I know that’s how it’s “supposed” to be spelled). My favorite on this list is [name_f]Athena[/name_f]. She’s a strong, intelligent, and powerful name any girl would be lucky to have. Same goes for [name_u]Artemis[/name_u].

I’ve been a longtime lover of [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] and Freyja, and [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] and [name_f]Athena[/name_f] are lovely too. Europa is definitely something I could get behind, though it seems more science fiction-y than mythological, but that may be because of the movie “Europa Report.” The same goes for [name_u]Ripley[/name_u].

The only ones I’m not a fan of are [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] and [name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f], but I think that’s just because I’m personally not a fan of the way they sound.

Some other ideas if you’re looking:
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f]
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f]
[name_f]Daenerys[/name_f] (I know, I know, but its so catchy and queenly sounding, and I prefer it to [name_f]Khaleesi[/name_f])
[name_f]Danu[/name_f]
[name_u]Echo[/name_u]
[name_f]Endellion[/name_f]
[name_f]Eowyn[/name_f] (A personal favorite)
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] (discovered the name Jennevere off the game “Thief” and fell in love. I think its supposed to be a variation)
[name_f]Lilith[/name_f]
Lysandra
[name_f]Morgana[/name_f]
[name_f]Padme[/name_f]
Silmarien
[name_f]Venus[/name_f]
[name_f]Yvaine[/name_f]

I suggest you check out this list: Enchantment | Nameberry. Its got a lot of good names that are more than just the usual [name_m]Roman[/name_m]/Greek and Norse myth contenders.

My favorite, by far, is [name_f]Lyra[/name_f]. It’s such a stunning name. I like Freyja, [name_u]Sloane[/name_u], and [name_f]Athena[/name_f], too. The only one I dislike is [name_u]Ripley[/name_u].

Thank you all for your suggestions! I especially like [name_f]Calliope[/name_f], [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] and [name_u]Echo[/name_u], and [name_f]Eowyn[/name_f] is actually on my list already! Please keep the suggestions coming!

This is very much my name style and Freyja (with this spelling) [name_u]Artemis[/name_u], [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_f]Athena[/name_f], [name_f]Arwen[/name_f], and [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] are among some of my all time favourites! They’re all beautiful but feisty and have plenty of personality and strength I think. [name_u]Sloane[/name_u], [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f], and [name_u]Ripley[/name_u] are the only ones that aren’t my thing, and I prefer [name_f]Bronwen[/name_f] to [name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f] as it’s the traditionally feminine variant. Some more suggestions:

[name_f]Zenobia[/name_f]
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f]
[name_f]Clio[/name_f]
[name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandria[/name_f]
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f]
Illyria
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Theia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ianthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]
[name_f]Cerys[/name_f]
Merewen
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Ilaria[/name_f]
[name_f]Flavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f]

I love Freyja and [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] in particular, and some of the others are also lovely. I do detest [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] though.
