Frigga - I like the old Norse mythology, but Frigga isn't one of my favorite names and it's extrememly rare here in Sweden. It only reminds me of the words "frigid" and "friggin'".
Frida - if pronounced with a Spanish accent, I love it. :) But it's too common here and it sounds meeky in Swedish, imho.
Freja - rather cute.
Flora - all I can think of is that it's a brand of butter here.
Fleur - nah, not a favorite.
Fiona - cute.
Frances - OK.
Farah - "Fara" means both "to go; to travel; to leave" and "danger" in Swedish.
Florence - I know it's a beautiful city, but all I can think of is fluoride.
Faye - OK, but a bit too short.

I have a great love of F names. :)
Faye, I'm not too fond of, because I grew up hearing names like Tammy Faye, Bobbi Faye, for women of my grandparents generation.
Frida also still seems old to me, but hey it has that nice art connotation.
Frigga, I associate highly with the goddess.
Freja, too, but man do I just love this name.
Flora & Fleur- both pay a nod towards my love of flowers and flower names in general. I think Flora is easier for English speakers than Fleur. Sometimes the both end up sounding a bit like 'floor'. :(
Fiona: Is probably the name on this list I would most likely name a daughter. I could see my husband agreeing to it, and I like it enough that it is not diminished by popularity or other connotations, which I think is the true test of, "Is this name baby material".
Frances: I adore Frances on a girl. Classic. I have yet to meet a little Frances I haven't liked.
Florence: I think it has that uncommon, but old fashioned flair to it... and just enough familiarity to make it a more popular name in the future.
Farah: I am growing to love. Mostly due to the character on Homeland.

Freja is nice but I prefer Freya - the J looks a bit awkward.
Flora is pretty, but it's a brand of margarine here so I prefer Florence or Florrie.
Fiona is lovely :)

Frigga - sounds like frigging, which is a replacement for f***ing, so I say no
Frida - Fine. Around here it tends to be a nickname for Elfrieda, so I can't quite get past the over-60 age bracket
Freja - Does not appeal to me
Flora - It's okay, but I like Florence better
Fleur - Fine for someone who is French
Fiona - Awesome.
Frances - It's starting to grow on me a bit
Farah - dislike
Florence - pretty good
Faye - dislike
I really only like Fiona from that list. But I also like other F names:
Fiodora
Fiorenza
Fiametta
Fern

Frigga - too frigging naughty in English
Frida - prefer Frieda or Freda, but they're all good
Freja - better than Freya because the intended pronunciation is obvious
Flora - excellent, except for the margarine
Fleur - pretentious
Fiona - elegant and stylish; pity about Fee as a nn
Frances - beautifully retro; a winner
Farah - or Farrah? Don't like either!
Florence - delightful and due for a major revival
Faye - needlessly fussy; Fay is preferable
