HelpFrieda/Frida
Lately I am seriously loving Frieda/Frida. Everything about it appeals to me - the meaning, the brisk sound, the look, how it sounds like "free," the -da, the images of loose hair that I get. I have a few options:
1. Frida as a first name. I am a little uncomfortable with this. Not because it's a nickname officially. That doesn't bother me because it stands alone etymologically pretty well and it just means "peace." I think - and I am embarrassed to admit that I think this - the reason I am a little uncomfortable is because there are not enough letters in it compared with my top 2. Isn't that awful? I think as a full name I like this spelling better. In any case if I am bowled over by a really good Frida combo I might be won over; also I would kind of like you guys to convince me that I am being foolish.
2. [Something else as an FN] [longer form of Frieda as an MN] "Frieda."
This allows me to use a name I wouldn't use otherwise because of Popularity or Pronunciationorsomething issues. Names like this include Anna, Isabel, Grace, Sophia/Sofia, maybe Jessica - maybe even Emma. Or maybe stuff like Elizabeth.
It also occurred to me that, because of the name Siegfrieda, I could pull the whole "connecting to Bach via first initials J. S." I think it would be a really awesome thing to be able to write J. S. Surname on a paper.
I don't like the feminine forms of Frederick. I did some behindthenaming and threw together a few Germanic elements that I like.
Ermenfrieda (see Emma)
Wilfrieda (can mean Peace Protection, or else you can interpret it like Wilfred and say "Wanting Peace." I like both)
Swanfrieda (I am into the swan sound lately. A lot. I really like this.)
People are named Ermenfrieda and Wilfrieda, but no one is named Swanfrieda.
Anyway so far I am toying around with this:
Julia Siegfrieda / Julia Swanfrieda
Jane Siegfrieda / Jane Swanfrieda
I don't know if I can get away with Swanfrieda; I am imagining somehow that it is a x10000 more embarrassing answer to "What's your MN" than Siegfrieda, Ermenfrieda, or Wilfrieda.
Anywayanyway! Thoughts/combos? TIA!
