Freya - Pretty or ugly??

[ameliesmumvic]

I know this sounds silly but I cant decide if Freya is a very pretty or very ugly name.... What do you think?

[ninedragons]

Very pretty.

[dizzydixies]

I like it

although know of someone with surname Benson that used it and could get Freybentos pies out of my head

so not if your surnams is Bentos or Benson

[Claire2301]

Really like it and not so common now as it was a few years ago, we had three Freya's in a pack of 22 girls!!

[EsmeWeatherwax]

Its always one i think you have to be careful with, as regards to surnames. Its quite an exotic name, and with a plain sounding surname I think its sounds a bit daft.

That was quite diplomatic for me. I actually have a complete aversion to the name Freya...

[nigglewiggle]

Pretty, but common, as in popular

[tiggerlovestobounce]

Lovely name, but very popular, there seem to be a lot of little girls called Freya at the moment.

[Nicki10]

I'm not keen on it I'm afraid and it is very common in these parts.

[Bucharest]

Neither. It's just a bit 90s.

[EsmeWeatherwax]

Aye, thats the other thing, there's loads of them around here too.

[moonstonefairy]

Yes its populat but very beautiful. I love it.

[Madmentalbint]

very pretty

[Thunderduck]

It's pretty.

[Beantin]

pretty - yes, take care with surname.
for individuality, can spell it with a 'j'? Freja - more european...

[gagamama]

It makes me think of the bras, but it is pretty.

[Sunflower100]

Its a lovely name and I know a lovely Freya

[Knax]

pretty!

[BooBooChicken]

i am biased as i have a freya myself so i think it is very pretty!
and not too popular here (central scotand) i have only met one other freya so far (dd is 8)

[blametheparents]

Really shouldn't have clicked on this thread, big risk of me being upset as I have a Freya! (I'm not that sensitive really, I am very happy with my choice)
I think it is a lovely name.

[Lilyloo]

Lovely name wanted it for dd2 but we have a lot of Freyas round here.

[changednametosaymysurname]

I have always loved the name Freya since reading a book years ago where the main character was called Freya. Unfortunately I realised it wasn't an option for my future daughters when I married Mr Friar!

[pamelat]

pretty but very popular.

[newpup]

It is very popular around here, you can not turn around without looking at a Freya, I'm afraid. All under the age of 8 though.

[dolphin83]

Love the name freya (im biased though as its my daughters name!) Not many around here either, ive never met one!

[Fanfare]

Very pretty. But it is very popular and I think of it as a very "now" name. I heard it described as a "Fiona of the noughties".
