[Opinions] Frej and Storm
What is your opinion on the names Frej and Storm? I fancy them a bit lately, but my family think Storm is unusable and Frej is too girlish... Any combo suggestions?

I love Frej! I don't think I would use it but I do love it. It has this old Scandinavian feel to it that I like a lot. I feel the same way about Tyr. Storm is nice, it's on my GP list. I much prefer Storm for a boy than a girl. I can't say I think Frej is girly. Quite the opposite actually. I imagine a very tall and muscular man working in the forest wearing a plaid shirt.
I really like Storm and Frej as a sibset too.

Frej if pronounced like Fry I think is nice. Not sure how I'd feel about it pronounced Fray.Storm is too X-Men.However, when I first saw it I thought it said Strom. That would be cool.

I really like Frej. Storm isn't really my style. I see that you live in Denmark, and I think that Storm is much more usable in a location that English isn't the first language.

I'm pretty sure storm is the word for storm in Danish too. It is in Swedish.

I like the sound of Frej a lot but my anglophone eyes have trouble equating the spelling to the sound. I think I'd like to meet one, so that I could have some exposure to it. I don't think it's girlish at all though, it seems like the logical masculine version of Freja, which doesn't sound overly feminine in a frilly sense to me anyway.I'm not a fan of Storm unless it's a middle name. Too hippie-ish for me I guess.

Storm would make an awesome middle name, I think. :) I love Frej a lot, but I'd probably spell it Frey. I don't think it seems feminine at all, and unlike Storm, I think it could make an awesome first name!
