Help[Opinions] Freyde?
WDYTO the name Freyde (FRAY-da)? It's Yiddish and means "joy." I've been trying to find some Yiddish names that I love as much as Hebrew names, and I'm not succeeding (aside from Shaina, which is my favorite girls' name). Any other suggestions?

Oh, it's nice.

Freyde is close to a family name for me, Freda. I love the sound of Freyde, but she will constantly have to explain that her name is not Freida / Freda / Frida or even Freya.
I don't know many Yiddish names, but I came across Anzia, a Yiddish form of Hannah / Anna. The short story writer Anzia Yezierska is where I found it. It is pronounced, "AHN-zee-uh." Very pretty to my ears. The only potential down side is a dyslexic first glance could make is look like "Nazi." But I'm being overly cautious, I think. Still, as a mn, Anzia could work very nicely.

Anzia is absolutely stunning! I've been looking for a way to honor a great-aunt Anne, and I think you've put it in my path for me to find! Hooray! Now to find some combos...

I'm not really a fan of Freyde.
