This is my name. While I wouldn't name my own daughter this, I kind of like it. It's traditional and Germanic, not too harsh or too soft, and sounds like peace (frid) and freedom. It also reminds me of the color yellow, for some reason.
My first thought seeing this name is Frida Kahlo, and that it sounds a bit like "freedom"— both good associations! I can easily see this name coming back in style. I wouldn't personally use it for a child because it doesn't sound as pretty in French, but if you're considering this and it sounds good in your language, I say go for it! I personally gave it to a character in the novel I'm writing.
The only Frida I've met was a little old lady who I swear could have been a witch. I don't believe in actual witches, but there was definitely something unusual about Frida...

Frida Kahlo was born Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón. I love her art and her name is also beautiful.

I think this name is beautiful. Most people that find it strange or ugly are probably Americans. Surprise! Not all names are in English!

This is my middle name. I changed it from FREIDE to Frida. It's unusual I guess! :)

I picture a woman with a major unibrow with this name. Dark features too.

Great name. The /r/ and /d/ sounds make it strong.
I love the name Frida because it reminds me of the character, and my favorite character, from the show El Tigre, Frida Suarez :D as SuicuneGem mentioned.
I love this name! It probably has a lot to do with my love for Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad of ABBA. For months, I wanted to name a daughter Frida, or use it as a middle, but, for some reason, it slipped off of my list. I think I'd still quite happily use it, but as a middle, which is an issue as it's hard to find first names that fit.
