Fiona
I was wondering, is it alright to use Fiona even if you aren't Irish/Scottish? I'm far from becoming pregnant, but Fiona's always been one of my favorite names. Though there is a possibility that we are Irish, we're not entirely sure.So, would you say that it's alright for me to use it in the far future? And what do you think about it? What do you think about the combo Fiona Aeronwen? Do you have any other combos you think sound nice together with Fiona?

I don't think that you have to be Irish or Scottish to use Fiona. Fiona Aeronwen is pretty.

I think it's fine to use any name from any culture as long as it fits the child. I know a blond, blue-eyed little girl named Avani, but no one blinks because the name seems to suit her.

I think you can use it with any race or nationality ...It's a pretty name ^_^ I like the look of it a lot. Not head over heels for Aeronwen but it really does look lovely. I've always been going back and forth with Fiona. Today I love it though~

I think Fiona is a great name - regardless of your nationality. At first it reminded me of Shrek, but the farther into the future that you look, the less of that there'll be.Aeronwen...does the stress fall on the second syllable? In that case, the flow is pretty good, except the a-A. I'd look for a middle name that is three syllables, with the emphasis in the middle (Breanna - except one that doesn't end in a). Or even one that's only two syllables with the emphasis on the second syllable (Joelle, Ranae, Michelle).

Ah, right. Forgot about the whole "Shrek" thing. Such a stupid movie. Anyway. You're probably right, though, about people making that connection less and less as time goes on.Aeronwen is pro. like eye-rawn-when, and in my head, I believe the stress is on the second syllable.
Thanks!

Yesssss. Heck, is it okay for us to use Michael if we aren't Hebrew? Yepp. So Fiona is fine to use. You use what you lvoe and ignore everything else. :D Go for it. Fiona is a beautiful name you know. :)

I love Fiona! My top combo is Fiona Katharine. I think it is perfectly fine to use. Its common enough that people wont think about you not being Irish. Your combo is nice though nms.

Fiona Katharine's pretty, but my cousin's name is Catherine and I'd rather avoid using names that are in my "generation" of this family. Pretty, though.

I think it's fine. Fiona is common enough that I wouldn't think twice if someone wasn't Irish or Scottish. At least if they're caucasian because you can't really tell what they are or aren't from looking at them. I love Fiona too.Fiona Aeronwen is alright. The way the stress falls on the syllables makes for a nice sound, but the -a A- is a little awkward.I can NEVER find good combos for Fiona as a fn! I've got nothing.

haha, thanks. And yeah, the -a-A- is a little awkward but it popped into my head while I was typing.
