It's a female, I assume...
Tova, Frida, Hera would all be fine, Tova would be the most obvious. What's the Norwedian nickname? That'd probably be fine too.
How is the name usually spelled? Because NO-ONE is going to spell it Þórfríđr in the US, 2 of those letters don't exist here. I don't think the problem with the name is the pronunciation or sound, it's the spelling. It's almost in a different alphabet.

Tova is really all I can think of.

My vote goes for Tove. That's the only one I could really think of, sorry!
