Comments for FIONNUALA:
Pronounced fin-OO-la.-- Aqua 11/21/2006
I say it as "fyoon-WA-la".-- gaelruadh19 1/17/2007
The Irish actress Fionnula Flanagan is sometimes credited as "Fionnuala Flanagan".-- gaelruadh19 1/17/2007
It's pronounced Fin-OO-la in Ireland. This is my friends name, and I love it. Often shortened to NOO-la as a nickname, less often shortened to Fin.-- Link 5/28/2007
This name is nice. I prefer it pronounced FIN-oo-la though. However, I wouldn't call a daughter this because I don't like Nuala as a nickname.-- GarbageGuy 6/8/2008
I prefer the spelling "Fionnula" because I personally hate the "Nuala" part.-- pusherwoman 12/29/2008
Gorgeous name, it has an ethereal beauty. The story behind it adds to it's charm.-- blue_belle 8/11/2010
Pronounced (fin OO lah).-- maddogpony 11/29/2010
I don't like the Nuala bit, but I would very much consider the name Fion ( pronounced FEE-ON) for a boy. Maybe a girl.-- DidiGiraffe 7/8/2011
My name is Fionnuala but I mostly go by FINN for short, not Nuala, which is unusual because I am a girl.-- queenfinn 7/26/2011
I always grew up knowing the meaning being "swan-necked", which is nearly the same thing, I suppose. (My mother grew up in Ireland and speaks Gaelic).-- queenfinn 7/26/2011
I think that it is an utterly enchanting name, personally. However, it is much too... pretentious? To bestow onto a child outside of Ireland. As always, I suppose of you have a large amount of close heritage stemming from Ireland, and possess a surname to pair with, it has the potential to be successful.
If you have no Irish blood, the name may as well be "kre8tiv." A Fionnuala Mac Pharlain has a chance-- not Fionnuala Adamsen.
It is amazing how a simple last name holds the power to either suggest, A). Being the definition of subtle beauty and of maturity, to B). Appearing to be a "kre8tiv," pretentious, pompous atrocity. Future employers will be wary of any name that seems unprofessional-- a name much like Fionnuala if you are not cautious.-- Francesca 9/1/2011
