Be Nice to your Daughter to be ... Spell it the way 90% of the people will Spell and Pronounce it Correctly in the future, so that she doesn't have to Correct almost Everyone and almost Every Medical, School, Professional Record during her hopefully long life*.
I would say that [big] Freya[/big] is the best of the 3 for that.
*My Mother Named my younger Sister 'Ashlye' (instead of her planned on 'Ashley') while still somewhat tired and loopy from sedation during birth. Later when the family mentioned it, Mom thought it was "cute" and "different" and left it. My Sister finally embraced it in Highschool because she was distinguished from the 4 Ashley's in her homeroom class and about 15 total in the school including Teachers. But she still continued all the way through to her Masters Degree correcting it. Then a smart older Coworker with an odd name told her to make Calling Cards to pass out upon meeting new people & clients.
@Valerian my name is Lucie, people spell it Lucy 98% of the time. Freya would definitely be easiest for people to spell without asking. I have a while to decide fortunately!
I don't prefer the "j"s, I do like the y, but I also think sightly unique names can be more cool. As long as people understand how to pronounce them.
Also make sure to Google them (also with the last name) and see what if anything comes up. You might find it awesome or not, but better to know.
[quote]Freyja Norse mythology
[u][b]Freyja[/b][/u], (Old Norse: “Lady”), most renowned of the [b][u]Norse goddesses[/u][/b], who was the sister and female counterpart of Freyr and was [b][u]in charge of love, fertility, battle, and death[/u][/b]. Her father was Njörd, the sea god. Pigs were sacred to her, and she rode a boar with golden bristles. A chariot drawn by cats was another of her vehicles. [/quote]
@Iusedtobehereallthetime True! And like, everything is getting more and more digital I'm sure it's easier than ever to spell names. Some parents give their kids names that are basically troll names that nobody can spell, Freja ain't that.
Also just a cool name from a badass Norse goddess and who doesn't want to be named after a goddess.
Freja. It's the true to roots way of spelling and then it isn't the same as that shitty metalcore band from Syracuse. I know right? Like there is such a thing as a not shitty metalcore band.
Frejya is just all over the place and needs to pick a lane.
@Iusedtobehereallthetime True, but at least she'll know when someone actually paying attention and gets it correct and they'll.get.bonus points for the extra effort of getting.it.correct and not being on autopilot so she can tell they care.
Just playing devil's advocate and looking at it from a different angle.
