So I live in the US and in a part of the country where the name Freya is not used AT ALL.
By some chance my friend said the name but she said it "Frey-ya." Whereas I would say "Frey-a."
How would you, Baby Namers, pronounce this name? I am going to be really embarrassed if both of us are wrong and it is pronounced a completely different way.

Also, do you prefer Juliet or Juliette? I can't decide. Right now I am leaning towards Juliet.

Edited to add:

Frey-YAH as opposed to Frey-ah. Like the y ends the first syllable and begins the first. Whereas the way I say it, the y ends the first syllable and does not carry over. "Frey- ah" Sounds completely different to me and the difference was easily noticed by both of us. I guess I just don't know how to spell phonetically. It is a small difference but still...

What names go well with the last name Skylander?

I ask on behalf of one of my friends, whose wife is pregnant. Their agreement is that she got to name their first child (Rosalie Gray) and he gets to name the second. The thing is, he's got no clue what he likes as names. He knows what he hates - Jayden/Kayden/Hayden and anything with a Kay or Hay sound - but that's about it.

I directed him to some baby name websites, but any suggestions might help. He's so adorably lost. XD

The name Zoé (zo-ay)?

It's the only girl name that my husband really likes and since I had my way naming the baby last time... Our daughter 's name is Cléa (Clay-ah), if that helps any. I do like it. It's not excessively common, but yet everyone would know it. Plus it means "life", which I like.

My only concern is that our last name start with an "S".  I think it might sound weird...Thoughts? 

Edit: Just as an aside, we're a French Canadian family living in a bilingual environment so the French spelling and pronunciation won't be a problem.
