HelpRe: Rosalind and Freya?
in reply to a message by Dragon_Clarinet
I absolutely adore Rosalind! It's near the top of my names list. I was surprised to learn that it hasn't charted (at least in the US) since the late 1970s. It's classy, beautiful, and I'd love to see it make a comeback. It's a literary name too -- Shakespeare used it in As You Like It. It can fit a woman at any age, and I don't think it's dated at all.
Freya seems to be somewhat popular around here, but I don't see the appeal -- at least not in that spelling. I don't like Freya very much, but I think it's absolutely lovely when spelled Frea. Here's what I wrote on Frea's page: "Though far less evocative of the Norse goddess, this is is definitely my favourite spelling of Freya. For a reason I can't explain, it reminds me of flowers, fresh air, and springtime. I think it's beautiful."
Frea feels different than Freya -- it's warmer and more energetic, while Freya leaves me cold. I also like Freja, which feels more soft and delicate than the other two variants.
