User Comments about the name Fiona


Comment left Oct 22, 2009: "My daughter is Fiona, born 2002. He had originally selected that name in 1997 for our first child, but he was boy, so we saved it for the next kid. I love the name and it works in French, English and Italian....we are trinlingual! The only problem is the Shrek comments, but those will fade as the movie gets old. She was named partly after Fiona Apple...not because we are fans or anything, just liked the name. I also had a chilhood friend with that name who was a cutie...so..Fiona loves her name! My parents were totally against it because they had some rotten Fiona in their past and it tainted the name! For those of you about to give birth, don't let the outside world influence your decision...choose it between the two of you and don't ask for anyone's opinion...otherwise you will regret it. We wanted to name our 3rd child Damian, but everyone freaked out because of The Omen. so we chose James. It suits him perfectly, but Damian would have been even better because he is a little devil!"

Comment left Aug 04, 2009: "My name is Fiona and i love it! it suits all ages and i think its beautiful and elegant. and its not very common so i dont know other people with that name but common enough that people can usually spell it. although i dont like the Shrek jokes too much. im half Haitian half European and live in the US. its also good because its easy to say in any language i think" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jul 22, 2009: "This name is so cute! It sounds good on any aged person. It does sound very Princessy but it's still cute, femenine enough, easy to spell and pronounce and more!! my name is taylor :D" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jul 21, 2009: "My 6 y. o. daughter name is Fiona. She is American born half Russian and half Ukrainian. She likes her name very much. Go Fiona everywhere!!! Boston, MA" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jul 11, 2009: "I am 24 and I adore my name! I particularly love it because I think it is an ageless name and will never sound silly calling a toddler, child, teen, adult and old lady Fiona. I am a 2nd-gen Australian born Greek living in England (phew!) and I've always found it a name that is not common but not unusual so I've never had trouble with peoples spelling and pronunciation. It's also a great name because it spawns so many cute nicknames! Most people call me Fee, my sister calls me Feef or Fee-Fee (alot of people here seem to have a problem with it but I don't!), my aunty calls me Fee-Fi (like Hi-Fi), my housemates call me Feeski. I would definitely recommend calling your daughters Fiona, it's a great name and I'm glad my parents gave it to me!" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Jul 05, 2009: "Hi, I live in Scotland and my name is Fiona. I am called Feef by my dad for a pet name and have been called Fifi in the past by friends, which I liked! but I mainly get called Fiona. I've been teaching for 20 years and in all that time I've only ever taught 2 other Fionas, one in my class now! I like my name because it's Scottish , not outlandish but uncommon enough to make it unlikely to find another person with the same name. I must admit, I find the Shrek association a bit annoying. When I worked abroad in Europe for a few years, no one had ever heard of the name Fiona, which I liked!" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jul 02, 2009: "I am called Fiona. I am scottish emigrated to the States. In Scotland it is a very popular name but here the only way I can get people to recognise it is to say - The green princess married to Shrek. I am called Fee by my friends and fifi by others(though I think that sounds like a little dog)" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jun 16, 2009: "My name is Fiona and I'm 11. I still love my name! If you arreading this and is pregnet PLEASE name your baby Fiona if you know that it is a girl because I don't meet a lot of Fionas much!! Well only one time I saw a girl named Fiona, she was about two or three years younger than me, I don't see her anymore, but I think she is okay now! She is still my friend! I have about three nicknames! They are Fifi, Fi, Fefe!" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jun 13, 2009: "hey my name is fiona but im known as fefe by my friends nd fi by my family i love me name cos its unique nd quite a modern name as only invented in the 19th century. So far i have only met 1 person with the name fiona. I always get asked how to spell my name and someone spelt it with phiona which was funny" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jun 12, 2009: "My name is not Fiona- it's emily, but Fiona is my favorite girls name. So instead of changing my name, I will name my daughter Fiona. But if I only have boys, then maybe I'll change my name; or name a boy Fiona... HaHa that would be so mean! Somebody will be named Fiona!" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left May 02, 2009: "my daughter is fiona. i've always loved it (i'm american, but scottish ethnically), and always wanted to name my daughter fiona. then shrek came out. i get annoyed when people assume that she's named after a cartoon character - do people really name their babies after cartoons???? anyways, i told everyone that they could nickname her anything they wanted, but not fifi (i see from the responses here that my instinct was right on that count). we sometimes call her fi. besides the inherent beauty of the name and the cultural connection, which were important, i liked the idea of having a name that was unusual, but not unheard of. because of the movie though, there are a lot more fiona's out there." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Mar 21, 2009: "My name is Fiona my parents are Scottish but I grew up in England where it is not so common. I am 46 and I have always loved my name." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Mar 16, 2009: "Hi, My name is Fiona. My friends call me Fee,Feline,Flea(because Im small) My Ma and sister and aunties call me Flossy. I live in Laois in Ireland. I only looked at this page today and im really spooked because I have transluscant white skin (but loads of freckles!) I love my name because it is unique. I only know one other Fiona. I thought there was not that many people named Fiona but now i know there are LOADS! :) Thanks For Reading My Thing About My Name!xxxxxxxx" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Dec 13, 2008: "My name's actually FIO, not Fiona, but i like it even more. friends don't have to think how to shorten my name, they call me simply Fio, or sometimes Fe, because my second name is Egle." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Oct 14, 2008: "We named our little one Fiona Katharine, almost didnt, due to the Shrek association, (we liked it since Secret of Roan Inish) but then thought we shouldnt let a cartoon dictate our choice, esp since that movie will eventually fade in time. Besides, That Fiona on Shrek was a cool lady. She gave up beauty for love and could kick some royal tush too! So, we are happy with our choice. We call her Fia mostly, or Fi (fee) and sometimes Fia Bea (just for mommy!) Although, when we call her Fia some think her name must be Sophia. Go Fiona! But dont get too popular either! Luckliy due to Shrek it hopefully wont!" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Sep 20, 2008: "fiona is my name and i love it! i live in england and come from kosova where fjona is a common name for girls.i think the name fiona rather than fjona is much more cooler and more interesting when i go back home to kosova." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Sep 08, 2008: "My Name is Fiona known as Fi named by my father due to celtic connsctions. Wasn't many at school now more neice named after me she doesn't like it . ok for me though bye" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Aug 07, 2008: "My name is Fiona, I love it, but people only really know me as Fee. At school I use to get called Fee-Bee (Pheobie) because of my last name. It's rare to even hear anyone say my full name now though. Which is dissapointing as it's unique." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Aug 02, 2008: "Hiya my name is Fiona Brianne. My mum was going to call ne Jordan Leanne but then her friends said its a boys name so she changed it. On all my profiles I call myself Fi(i hate Fifi, it sounds like adogs name) or just Fiona. I love my name and people always sat my name with my twins name is one FionaandKelita!!" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Jul 28, 2008: "Hey my name is Fiona too! I thought I was the only one...and plus thanks to "Shrek" everybody threatens my saying im married to an ogre XP Im so suprised that all these people are named Fiona!!! CHEERS TO FIONA'S EVERYWHERE!" (Report as inappropriate)
