I don't care for either name. I have a student at school name Fernanda. She's a very tough chick. I also had a student in the same class named Fernando, so I think very masculine sounding when I think of Fernanda.

Fernanda is a terrific little "in my pocket" kind of name. Note to self: must suggest it more.

Fernanda grew on me too. I generally don't care for Fern as a name. But as a nn for Fernanda it's quite appealing.

Personally, I would choose Fernanda over Fiorenza. Fernanda nn Fern seems more "grounded" to me than Fiorenza nn Fiora. Fernanda, even though feminine, is quite handsome. I love it.
