HelpRe: Skadi and Freya - I need some people from Scandinavia to answer (and everyone else too!) :D
in reply to a message by Perrine
From Sweden.
I've never even heard the name Skadi. It's an obscure name. I think I know my Norse mythology pretty well and that is not a name I've come across. I think most people here wouldn't even know it's a name.
I'm not sure I would guess the meaning but knowing it, it's kind of obvious. 'Skada' is the Swedish word for hurting or damaging someone or something.
I can't say I'm a fan of the name. It's sounds pretty harsh. My dislike doesn't have anything to do with the meaning though.
Freja/Freya is FREH-ya just like you say it. There is no other way to pronounce it here.

but she wants to be sure 'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings

Thank you! I guess she isn't a very prominent character in Norse mythology then. I think the name is too dark for me anyway but I sometimes think it's kind of cute. Same with Kali, which has a very dark background as well.
