My favourites from these are Aurora, Lila and Cassia (pronounced Cass-ee-ah) They are are such beautiful names.

---

Also like Helena but not sure if it goes well with your boys names.

---

Some suggestions: Lydia, Philippa?

Meredith, Adelaide, Anneliese, and Helena are great. Freya is nice too. As for the situation, make sure you're not just felling compelled to replace the child you lost. Maybe you can find a counterpart to Freya as a way to remember your daughter.

Since you consider Freya a child, I would personally find it odd if you used the name again. Especially if people in your "real" life know about the name.

---

If you are only posting it here as a daughter name for our benefit, then I think it is fine to use. It's not really right or wrong, it's just not common.

---

It's totally up to you, and even if I gave it a second thought when I met you and knew about both Freyas, it wouldn't really matter. I wouldn't think it inappropriate, but I can't honestly say I wouldn't raise a brow for a minute.

---

Of your list, I quite like Anneliese and Cassia. I prefer the Cass-ee-ah pronunciation, it's just a little sleeker to me.

---

Adelaide is also a lovely choice actually. I know a newborn with this name, and was elated to see it used in real life. To be honest I like this best of your list with the sibset, but I almost think that Adele or Adelle would match even better with Ronan and Llyr.

---

*note, while I love Lila / Lilah, I think it is a bit close to Llyr.

Although I really like several of your names (Anneliese, Cassia, Helena), I prefer another name to complement Ronan (love) and Llyr. Of the names you've listed, I think Meredith complements them best. Suggestions: Aine, Ailsa, Gwendolen or other similar names.

Re: Freya, this reminds me of when I was pregnant with my first child. My dh was married before and had a son who was born prematurely and lived for a week. He was named after my dh although he wasn't a junior. He couldn't have been since his mn was the name of his mother's late brother. Fast forward 4.5 years and dh's family (mainly his mother) was pressuring me to name our baby James Odell III if it was a boy. Not only did I find it incredibly tacky, but my dh and I both felt that all Jamie really had that was his alone was his name and we didn't want to give it to another child. I'm not the type of person who would do that sort of thing anyway (too many beautiful names out there to have to repeat) so I was happy that dh agreed with me.

---

As for you, I'd say that if you're referring to Freya by her name (and I'm sure you are), then it's probably not ideal to name another child Freya. As a mn, perhaps, but not as a fn. Obviously, you and your dh must do what feels right to you. My dh and I do know a couple who miscarried two ds and finally had a living ds and named all three of them the same name (after the father). I don't know how they did it because they were referring to all of the ds by the same name while pregnant (the first two passed away at 28 weeks).

I don't think it's wrong to use Freya at all :) Whatever feels right to you is the right thing to do.

---

I really like the idea of Meredith, Helena or Adelaide as a sister to that set.

Of yours my favourite are Cassia and Helena.

---

I think you could use Freya. It certainly wouldn't be wrong, or too much. If it were me and I used it, I would give a different middle name.

I wouldn't do it, but I wouldn't judge someone else for doing it.
I think in these kinds of situations you should do whatever helps, and if that is reusing Freya (lovely name!) then that's what you should do.

---

Besides Freya, I really love Adelaide, Anneliese and Lilah. I like the meaning of Aurora, but not the sound, so I'd put that as a middle name.

---

My vote would be Lilah Aurora with your boys, or if you want to use Freya I'd vote for Adelaide Freya, Anneliese Freya or Freya Aurora.

I love your sons' names. I'm not sure any of your girls names really "go" with Ronan and Llyr, except maybe Kira.

---

I think Freya is a lovely name and sounds good with your sons' names. It is really your decision, so if you love the name Freya and are OK with using it, why not? I don't think it would be wrong at all.

I really like Adelaide Freya

---

Adelaide is a name I've always liked and it seems a well known name but I've never actually met one.

---

I think you could use Freya again, no problem. It would be a nice way of honouring the DD you lost. Freya Anneliese is a pretty combo, as is Anneliese Freya and Adelaide Freya.

Freya Aurora gmv. I think it would be cool to use Freya again. Cool names.

---

A common new age narrative is that short-lived babies often reincarnate again to the same parents.

I think it's perfectly fine to use the name Freya again. Even as a first name. People do this and always have. There currently is no other daughter of yours named Freya walking the same earth as the rest of us, so it makes no difference. So you had two daughters named Freya - whose business is that, anyway? Not mine. It's only a name, it's not like using it again will somehow overwrite anyone's memory of the first Freya, and it's not like it means she is a "replacement" any more than anyone else's Freya, or your sons, were replacements. Would it bother you if your own name was after a lost older sister? If so, then you might hesitate to use it. That's the only consideration. IMO.

---

I like: Kira, Meredith, and Cassia (which I say KASS-yah - neither KASH-a nor KASS-ee-ah). Meredith seems to go especially with the brothers, but they all do well enough.

---

(But if you really want to use the name Freya more, then Freya gmv.)

---

More names to think about: Cerys, Gwyneth, Aderyn, Fiona, Quinn, Maeve

Anneliese Freya would be so beautiful!
