Reading the scores
Read the number as "how well this goes with Freya", not "how good this sibling name is". Style, length, first letter and sound all feed into it, and rhyming pulls it down hard. How the score works.
What makes a sibling set work
The names people regret are the ones that rhyme, start with the same letter, or sit far apart in popularity. A good match for Freya avoids all three. Freya with Otto or Phoebe does that.

Common questions
What names go well with Freya for a sibling?
For a brother: Otto, Jasper, Arlo, Odin.
For a sister: Phoebe, Daphne, Clementine, Persephone. These share Freya's style and level of familiarity without rhyming or starting with the same letter.
Should a sibling name match Freya?
It should feel like it belongs to the same family as Freya, not like a matching set. That means a shared era or style — Freya reads as mythological and boho, so lean that way — but a different starting sound and ending. Names that rhyme with Freya or also start with "F" get fewer points here.
Does Freya need a sibling name of the same origin?
It helps but is not required. Another Norse name (like Freya) gets a small scoring bonus because shared roots read as deliberate, but a strong style match with Freya matters more either way.
How is the match score for Freya worked out?
Each name is checked against Freya: a shared style and era counts the most, then how close the two are in popularity, then points come off for rhyming with Freya, sharing its "F" start, or ending on the same sound. Full detail on the NamePairings how-we-score page.
