User Comments about the name Fiona


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)

    Comment left Jul 26, 2008: "Hello, my name is Fiona. I was the only Fiona in both my primary and secondary schools. I have always hated my name being shortend but wht can you do people hve actually taken to calling me Feline. Which is pretty weird but hey in my opinion its better than "Fee-Fee". Once when on holidays in greece no one had ever heard of my name before which i liked. Though since Shrek came out i have found that it has become more popular... who on earth would even consider naming their lil bundle of joy after an ogre. LOL xoxo" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Jul 03, 2008: "My friends name is fiona and its so unique where we live in MA. I call her fi, fifi, fio (especially because her last name starts o'). Her family calls her fi too. She is really irish and she loves her name as do I!" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jun 01, 2008: "hey my name is fiona and i love it! i hardly meet people with that name so it makes me feel a bit special. hey my nickname is also fifi and i like it plus all girls named fiona are gorgeous" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left May 20, 2008: "My mother chose to name me Fiona, after her scotish heritage. She told my father that she would pick the first name, and he could pick the last. ;) Consequently, my last name is dutch, which ends up being a bit incongruous... But no matter. I was called Fifi in elementary school for a long time, but my friends call me Fi now.(Thank goodness) I do prefer to spell my name with the gaelic spelling, though: Fionnagh (but very few can pronounce it, nevermind spell it!) :) I imagine that I would be more fond of the name, if it wasn't mine." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left May 12, 2008: "I have always thought my name, Fiona, to be classy. Since I was 12, a group of friends began to call me Fefi though and it has stuck [but only with that particular group of 'old friends']. I like to call myself Fii, like the Wii game!" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left May 07, 2008: "My daughter's name is Fiona Ann. We chose "Fiona" after the main character in the movie "The Secret of Roan Inish". We are Americans but both families have Irish blood in them. My Fiona has red hair, brown eyes and adorable freckles. I do not like anyone calling her "Fi" or worse, "FiFi". Her brother likes to tease her sometimes though with those nicknames. So far, she is the only girl in her school (probably the town) with the name "Fiona"." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left May 03, 2008: "my name is Fiona Claire i love my name. Most people consider it classy. Ideal for a child or adult." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Apr 07, 2008: "I am a Fiona, also known as Fee in my family and to close Irish friends. Fiona is a very common name in Ireland, there were 4 in my uni class. I was known there as FeeG. In the US it is an unusual name, although less so know, people are always commenting on how nice it sounds. I used to find it strange how unusal it was there, considering it is common at home. Since Shrek more people know it, especially in non English speaking countries. The best thing about the name is that it cant be changed in other languages. We live in Spain, and is it still Fiona here, prenounced the same way. People can spell it! A nice blessing not thought about by my mother I am sure :-)" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Mar 26, 2008: "We named our daughter Fiona Gael. We are of Irish, Welsh, and German descent. We call her Fig or FiG (fee-gee, her J-Lo name!), but not Fi or Fee or FiFi. Only one friend of ours is allowed to call her FiFi. Fiona is a beautiful name and it's relatively rare in the U.S." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Feb 26, 2008: "My name is Fiona and I am from India. I love my name and I think its very beautiful and thanks to the movie "Shrek" everybody refers to me as Princess Fiona. People do call me Fi, Fion and even Fio, but that's alright with me. I love them all. The only thing that annoys me is that not many of them can pronounce neither smell my name correctly and that's why I prefer them calling me Fi. It makes things simpler and easier." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Feb 21, 2008: "hey my name is fiona it is ok to be named fion but when shrek came out people did use to take the mick as she turned into an orgar but im use 2 it by now and i get called ffion often or even pheobe which does get annoyng as its not my name i dont mind being called fi thou as its cute and thats what all my close friends and family call me. if your daughter will be called fiona then i think she will be happy but then again she may not as no one is ever happy with what they have!!xxXxx" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Jan 21, 2008: "My name is Fiona. I am a New Zealander with Scottish parents, and have auburn hair and really fair skin (and freckles). I hate my name being shortened to Fi, and tell people that it makes me feel like a poodle and liable to bite! Young children sometimes have a problem with my name, and my nieces call me 'Onie'. I am in my 40's, and have met relatively few people with my name, which I like. At school, my sister, Susan, had 5 people in one class with the same name!" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jan 17, 2008: "We named our daughter Fiona and we love it. We call her Fi for short." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Dec 27, 2007: "my sisters names fiona and once shrek came out she became ogar :P" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Dec 19, 2007: "My daughter's name is Sara Fiona. We call her Fiona and it suits her. She is fair skinned and adorable. I sometimes call her Fi (fee)." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Dec 13, 2007: "We just found out we're expecting Baby #2. If our son gets a little sister, I love the name Fiona Marie for her. So far, it's the only female name that I really love. I'm hoping people don't shorten it, as it's beautiful on it's own. But if it does, what will people call her? Fee Marie? That's kind of a cute pet name, though I don't plan to encourage it. We are Americans of Irish descent, so I think it will go very well with our surname." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Nov 28, 2007: "I am thinkin to name our doughter Fiona, I just love the name. But neither I nor my husband are scottish we are belarus and russian. I am a little confused. But i love the name!" (Report as inappropriate)
