[Opinions] Re: Fiona and Fenella (more)
in reply to a message by Felie
I’ve known people named Fiona, and it used to be fairly popular here, but I’ve never been able to separate it from Shrek. It has a pleasing sound and look but I’d prefer Ffion. I’m really liking Fenella at the minute (I’ve just included it in a poll). It’s the name of one of the characters in Endless Night by Agatha Christie, which is one of my favourites of her books. The character is mostly known as Ellie, though, which I don’t like. If I named a daughter Fenella, I’d call her by her full name, or maybe occasionally Finn. I think Fiona is too airy, whereas Fenella has a bit of a bite to it. I think they’re both equally flouncy and posh though.
