Fiona

[CityFox]

Fiona is a family name, but not too keen on it in original form. Can anyone think of Fiona derivatives?

[Sophronia]

How about..

Fionnuala
Fionola
Fenella
Finna
Finja

[Sophronia]

Finella
Finola
Fifi... maybe as a nn for Felicity or Josephine?

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Fina
Freesia
Freeya
Freya

Ffion (Welsh) not sure if this has the same derivation as Fiona or not.

[CiderwithBuda]

Feena?

Although Fiona is a fab name!

[babyblabber]

Fina (fee-na) would be the closest and I think slightly prettier.

[DontKillMyVibe]

Iona? Fiona with the F basically!

[shutupandshop]

I like it as it is. Fi a lovely nn.

[DontKillMyVibe]

*without

[GoldPlatedBacon]

Register as Fiona but call her Fifi day to day?

[Salmotrutta]

DontkillMyVibe - Iona isn't Fiona without the "F".

It's pronounced Eye-ona.

I like Fiona OP - pretty and classic. Very underused nowadays!

[scribblegirl]

Love Fiona but DP dislikes. I knew a Fiona who went by Fay but that's maybe a bit tenuous!

[FiFiIsAPoodlesName]

Register as Fiona but call her Fifi day to day?

Hell to the no!

Fi is fine, Fifi is poodle territory. My siblings used continue to call me this to wind me up.

OP if you don't really like the name but want to honour a family member why not just use it as a middle name and pick a first name you love?

[DontKillMyVibe]

I know how it's pronounced Salmo - I was talking about when it's written down.

[dementedma]

Fionnuala is lovely. My best friends name with a nn of Floss!

[bibbitybobbityyhat]

Aww, what's wrong with Fiona? It's lovely.

[CityFox]

How do you pronounce Fionnula?

[dementedma]

Fin oo la.

[Snazarooney]

Aliona?

[Mag314]

Iona
Fia

I know it's a pretty name (Fiona) but it's too associated to my age group I think.
