Freya or Alice ?

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I really thought i was done and settled on the name Alice, but the name Freya keeps niggling at me My husband is adamant that it is just too popular, Would you say this is true?

thoughts ?

I think their both beautiful names, but if you wanted a break down. It seems Freya is less common than Alice. Also, I am a bit biased. I have always loved the name Freya.

I prefer Alice. Nothing wrong with Freya but Alice sound so pretty and sweet.

 

[Teeny Weeny]

I prefer Alice.
Freya isn't common here at all. I only know one and it's a family member. Xx

We had both of those on our shortlist too until recently- we ended up taking off Alice, but only because we already know a couple girls in our circle of friends called Alice. I think of them as similar in overall popularity though.

Biased but Alice!

Seems fairly mixed then ! ahaa Thank you ladies!
I did check the national statistics and they only actually sit a few places apart from each other. I don't mind a "popular" name it's more that i don't want to end up with a fad name. Not sure how to explain that

 

[LoraLoo]

We get lots of compliments on Alices name- it's classic and timeless imo. I only know if one other Alice. That said, I don't know aNy Freya's either.

[Starlight32]

I like Alice more than Freya, I do think that could be a 'fad' name as you said, or more than Alice definitely I do like traditional names over all though x

Ah I love both! What about Astrid as a compromise? Similar roots to Freya, but doesn't sound a million miles away from Alice.

 

[Bevziibubble]

I love both names, but Alice is my favourite

 

[Buffyx]

I have a Freya. It is not common in Australia. We get many compliments on her name, and I have three friends who are teachers - none of who had ever taught a Freya.

We saw How to be Single last night at the movies, and I left the movie suggesting Alice for our next LO if it's a girl after the main characters name was Alice in the movie.

Love both names, but Freya is my preferred choice
