Help[Opinions] Re: Frida?
in reply to a message by LiaMaria
Since I'm a BIG fan of Frida Kahlo, I like the name Frida. If you say it with a Latin touch, it sounds gorgeous. It's just a pity that it's so common here. I have a cousin called Frida and I've known several other Fridas. And in Swedish it sounds kind of meeky. Since my own name, Fredrika, is pretty uncommon, people often mistake it for Frida. Being a Kahlo fan, I can't say it irritates me, though. :)
Frida Kahlo's father was from Germany and she originally spelled her name Frieda, but changed the spelling when Nazism grew big in Europe, because she didn't want it to sound so "German". (She also made up that her father was in fact Jewish, but he probably wasn't.)
Her full name was Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón (and later Kahlo de Rivera).
