HelpRe: Frida?
in reply to a message by LiaMaria
I love Frida! I love both spellings. I used to prefer Frieda but lately I have found myself slightly preferring Frida. It is probably one of my top 25 favorite girls names - if Frida isn't then it definitely is in the top 30.
Also my great grandmother was named Ella Frieda S. so it reminds me of her. I love that it honors both my German and Latina roots - Frida Kahlo is one of my favorite artists. As well I adore the meaning of the name.

Favorite Names:
Dorothea, Marguerite, Aurora, Fiona, Leona, Artemis, Vivian, Hazel, Clara, Luna, Serafina, Adelina, Maeve, Iris, Callisto, Citrina, Ariana, Rosaria
Ciaran, Rowan, Xavier, Tristan, Adrian, Cedric, Cedar, Arthur, Brendan, Connor, Teagan, Magnus, Malcolm, Julian, Gavin, Gryphon, Finn

It's too bad that she didn't quite make it to 100 although it sounds like she was quite ready.
My great grandmother Ella Frieda was first generation American born. Her parents were from the Holstein area of Germany which is near the border with Denmark. Her mother was Maria Dorothea but when she moved to America she started going by Mary and then later Marie. I wonder how common Frieda/ Frida was in Germany around that time. I definitely think that Maria was probably very popular.
I found Maria Dorothea's gravesite online. I think that I should try to go there some day. I'd also love to go to Germany some day.
