WDYT of Ffion? It's a Welsh girls' name, pronounced FEE-un or fee-Own.

It's pronounced FEE on. It's a nice name, but very common where I'm from (North Wales). I don't think it's very usable anywhere else, as ff isn't a letter in the English alphabet.

I don't like it, the double f looks weird and to me it looks like a weird spelling of Fionn, an Irish boys name pronounced like Finn. I strongly prefer Fiona.

I strongly prefer the the FEE-un pronunciation if the other one includes a 'w' sound. Never seen it before, but the meaning, look, sound, all have charm.

The "-own" part would be pronounce like the word own- with a long O sound. Not like the "ow" is gown or frown. Not sure how you interpreted but just though I'd clear that up

It's ok. I've only ever heard it pronounced FEE-on.

I don't mind it, but I prefer Fianna or Fiona.
