Re: Freyja
Except that Thor's mother in the MCU is Frigga. Freyja is a different goddess from a different pantheon. Frigga is love, Freyja is "(The) Lady" and isn't usually named at all. Frigga is universally Germanic, Freyja is uniquely Scandinavian, as the same word in other languages is used as an honorific for most women.

Please look up Freyja Freyrdottir from the MCU. You’ll find both spellings have been used in comics.

The current official MCU material makes a clear distinction, with no mention of Freyja as an alias of Frigga. For the Marvel comic references these are currently referenced as different characters from two separate universes, one with Freyja, and another with Frigga, and the bios of each make no reference to the other. Although they have similar positions, Frigga is not called Freyja, and Freyja is not called Frigga. The MCU, as I said, picks Frigga.
