Iona Fiona Ann: silly?!

We don't know whether we're having a boy or a girl (due in about a week's time), and are really struggling with girl's names.

We both really like Iona but would like to include our mothers' names as middle names: I think Iona Fiona Ann sounds too silly and Iona Ann Fiona doesn't sound right; hubby thinks either sounds okay. Just wondering what others think - the other name we both like is Erin.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

I'm in agreement with viva's suggestion, there's a subtlety to it which is just right.

Can't you just have Iona Ann - as Iona is as close to Fiona, without the F!

How about Iona Fiona Rona Mona Paloma Anne?

Much better IMHO.

Behave yourself woman!

Iona Fiona is utterly ridiculous. Sorry.

Iona Fiona definitely not
I'd have Fiona as first name if you like Iona it's not much different
or Annie Fiona is nice

Iona Fiona Ann sounds nice actually. You do know Ben Fogle has just called his new baby Iona?
