Iona- too much of a mouthful

I need help to convince DH that Iona is a great name. He feels it is too much of a mouthful and there are no good abbreviations we can think of. Onie doesn't sound so pretty.
So, is Iona too much of a mouthful? -It would go well with our surname. Any other abbreviations which might sway my DH's opinion?
Thanks

It's a lovely name.

It is a great name. The only thing that put me off was the amount of surnames that just couldn't go with it for any future daughter. I.e
Iona Stone
Iona Wall

Etc. etc.!
