Spellings.

[roaring.livejournal.com]

I really like the girl names, Freyja and Isolde, as well as their variants. I'm wondering which one do you think is the nicest?

Here are some I have come across:

Freyja, Freya, Freja, Frejya

Isolde, Isolte, Iseult, Yseult, Isotta.

Any more spellings? Or which one of these?

I like Freya a lot.

Isolde is beautiful, but I always picture it as sad. I'd still say it is my favorite of the two.

[roaring.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the story that comes with the name is depressing. D:

[ellinger.livejournal.com]

I love both of those names. Though my husband vetoed Isolde because the thought that someone would say "Girl, you Is Old." bah!

[roaring.livejournal.com]

LOL!

behindthename says that Frea is another variation, but I don't like it as much as Freya or Freyja. Freja looks nice, but I think it would be more likely to be mispronounced Freesia.

I like Freya and Isolde.

I like Freya and Isolde.
I second this!

Eseld.

[roaring.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, never heard that one before! I like.

[alluminor.livejournal.com]

It's Cornish (http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?nmd=n&terms=Eseld).

Isotta is new to me and I like that as well. Isolde is just a beautiful name, in any form, I think.

I like both, but Freya more.

FREJA and ISOLDE are my fave spellings.

[calasanctius.livejournal.com]

Freya and Iseult. Iseult shades it for me...

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

Freyja and Isolde are my favourite spellings! :)

I like Freya the best, and Isolde.
I've seen Freya spelled Friia before.

[eleanorgrace.livejournal.com]

I want to pronounce Isolde "ees-OL-day", which I like a lot, but I don't think that's how it's supposed to be said.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't use Freya as a name, but if you like it, then I suggest either Freya or Freja, but not with a double vowel because it's too messy

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I know someone called Freya. It's a pretty ok name =). As for the Isolde variants, I like Isolde the best =P

[catchthewaves.livejournal.com]

I like the name Freja. Not so keen on Isolde and it's variations, however.

[dancingpiratess.livejournal.com]

Freya and Isolde.
Make it easy for when the baby has to learn to spell it's own name :-)

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

I adore the name Isolde! Freyja is very pretty, too.

[snailrevolution.livejournal.com]

I prefer Isolde and Freya.

[jenlohrkelly.livejournal.com]

I like Freyja. I've always liked that name, but I figured it would be instantly vetoed when my hubby said that Gaia and Rhea were too icky. Grrr!

[liveoverlove.livejournal.com]

I like Isolde and Freja.

[ex-ollivande895.livejournal.com]

Freya and Isolde. The j in Freyja throws me off.
