Fiona
This is a name I've never cared for, but lately I've been watching a stellar show called Burn Notice where one of the main characters is Fiona nn Fi. All of a sudden, I'm loving it.I doubt very much I'll ever get it past dear fiance, but WDYT?

Fiona is a lovely name, I know one and first came to hear it through actress Fiona Shaw. People are going to kill me for this (or at least going to type random replies back) but I actually thought the Shrek movies would pull people to the name, I mean she was a strong willed gal who showed society beauty isn't everything - a good rolemodel no? And she has a practical name. I know girls called Cinderella, to be honest, I'd rather have Fiona.

I think it's pretty, and it doesn't remind me at all of Shrek. It mostly reminds me of the little girl from The Secret of Roan Inish.

It's a good name. As to the nick-name, is it pronounced "Fee"? That's what my mother's innumerable sisters called her. (Her name was Freda.)

I've only met one Fiona before, and she was a total brat. It immediately put me off the name.

LOL. I was just thinking how much I like this name after watching Burn Notice last night. I think it's lovely and I quite like the nn Fi. I've always liked it, but it has been really grabbing my attention lately because of Burn Notice (which I think is stellar, too.)

I really (like you) have never cared for it. But kudos to you if you do like it!-Scarlet PimpernelP.S. Another instance where fiona was used was in "A Cinderella Story", it was the name of the evil stepmother. Between that and Shrek, it ruined it for me. :(

Fiona from Sherk was a beautiful princess then all of a sudden she just went from human or Orger. But I like the name Fiona its so pretty but I wouldn't use it.

Fiona is a lovely name. I've never met one, though.

I kinda like Fiona, too. Princess Fiona from the Shrek movies sort of ruins it for me, for personal use anyway. I'd be delighted to meet a Fiona.
