[Opinions] Re: Fiona
Fiona is lovely. It has a gentle yet stately sound. Despite the meaning, I associate the name with nature and the color green. I have never met a Fiona in real life but would like to meet one.It is funny how some people, who like Ursula and insist that people won’t think of the sea witch, think that Fiona is too princessy and tied to Shrek. The Little Mermaid has way more staying power.

I can definitely find similarity between Fiona and green due to the Irish heritage. I also associate Daphne with green due to Ovid's association of Daphne with the laurel (and for me - the tree leaves - and her metamorphosis to sustain her eternal youth). I despise the association of Apollo with the Laurel; as Apollo, to me, would be a male aggressor--and an eternal antagonist. I love Daphne!I only met--more like merely introduced--one Fiona in real life; she actually seemed wild. I've never seen the Little Mermaid, but I "sort of" know of it. With mermaids, due to my age, my thoughts revert to Daryl Hannah--and I love her name.
