Re: Fiona & Freya
in reply to a message by Tana
In Sweden it is spelt Freja. Currently No. 85. Frida is more popular (No. 33). Freja is well known as the goddess of love and beauty, and some find it "over the top" but others don't mind or like the mythological aspect. Frida has been popular for many years but Freja's popularity is new.
One naming trend in Sweden is international, often Irish or English names. But another one is names from the Vikings' time, like Saga, Tyra, Erik and Hugo.
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)
