I haven’t seen many New Year’s baby announcements yet, but one of the announcements I have seen featured a rather distinctive name: Echo Frejya Grey.
Echo Frejya Grey Adams was the first baby of 2015 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. She was born to Kayla McEvoy and Jared Adams at 12:02 am on New Year’s Day.
Where did her three given names come from?
- Echo came from the character Echo of the short-lived sci-fi TV series Dollhouse, created by Joss Whedon. “The couple agreed on the name Echo before she was even conceived, admiring the TV character’s strong personality and “take no prisoners” attitude.”
- Frejya commemorates Iceland, which is where Kayla and Jared got married.
- Grey came from the character Jean Grey of the X-Men comic series.
Frejya has never been in the U.S. baby name data, but Echo and Grey have.
Which of these three names do you like best?
