[Opinions] Fiona
I like the name Fiona as it’s not a name you hear often where I live. However I like it only with this spelling. I have however come across three different spellings. What do you think of Fiona and which spelling do you prefer? Have you come across another spelling?Fiona

I like Fiona, spelled this way. It's a lovely name, but younger people will associate it with Shrek's wife.

I've only ever hear of the Fiona spelling. I have met a little Fiona, but it does make me think of Shrek.

I like Fiona enough to consider using it: it seems lively and cheerful. I've only ever seen the Fiona spelling, though I did hear someone introduce herself as Fionna with a short o; my parents knew a couple who named their child Fiona and pronounced it FIEona.Fhiona and Phiona look dreadful!

Ugh, no.

Fiona is pretty with this spelling. It makes me think of green forests and Irish myth.

Fiona is fine. I've only come across the original spelling, which is also the only one that is acceptable to me.Phiona looks strange enough, Fhiona is far too over the top.

Fiona is by far the best.I like it, it sounds soft and pretty and it makes me think of Fiona Apple and (the character) Fiona Gallagher before I think of Shrek.

I really want to like this name, but there’s something off putting about it. Perhaps it comes across as too uptight/strict, if that makes any sense! I think the same about the name Iris.Iris Fiona / Fiona Iris actually make quite a good combo I think! Fiona is the most obvious spelling, I’ve never seen the other (creative?) spellings before.
