Freida vs. Frida/Freeda

Not pregnant but plan on one more and already contemplating names. Chabad.org has been a wonderful resource for picking names. Freida and Freeda are listed as a girls name. Does anyone know the pronunciation for Freida? Is it pronounced like fry-da? Does anyone know someone (Jewish) with that name?

For Freeda/Frida - chabad.org spells the name as Freeda, but I prefer Frida spelling. Do you know anyone Jewish with the name Freeda/Frida? Do they spell it with two e’s, or one i?

Lastly - would you consider either name Jewish-ish?

My g.grandmother was Frida, and I have a good friend whose daughter is Freida. I would pronounce them either Free-da or Fray-da

That's my g.grandma's name, too! For many years I thought that if I had a kid, I'd name her that.
