As In Norse mythology, Freya is a goddess of love and fertility, and
the most beautiful and propitious of the goddesses, the patron goddess
of crops and birth and the symbol of sensuality and was called upon in
matters of love it sounds like an ideal name for a boat. 

Particularly for those who are prone to carry young things wearing
