Read the name Fenella in a book and like the way it looks and sounds. What do you all think?

Pretty name only met 1

Grin well I have met three Fenellas in my life and not one of them had unbound jiggling boobs. not that i noticed anyway.

squoosh · 26/03/2014 18:31

Fenella's don't wear bras! Unbound jiggling boobs is one of the main aspects of their modus operandi.

Love that fideline Grin.
Fenella's fab!

fideline · 26/03/2014 00:41

Well OP could buy her a bra and confiscate the pony Smile

squoosh · 26/03/2014 00:34

Posh, jiggly breasted, horsey girl.

DramaAlpaca · 25/03/2014 22:24

I really like it.

AddUpToNothing · 25/03/2014 22:21

I love Fenella. Sadly I can never use it as I've given my daughter the middle name Ella. I do sometimes call her Fenella for fun though Grin

Salmotrutta · 25/03/2014 21:49

I like it.

And I remember Fenella Fielding - lovely husky voice! Smile

magicalmrmistoffelees · 25/03/2014 18:10

I like it, and love Fen as a nickname

RabbitPies · 25/03/2014 14:06

I think it's ugly. It sounds like a fungal infection. Fenn is rather nice though.

NigellasDealer · 25/03/2014 10:31

Fen-ELL-a

nobodysfool · 25/03/2014 10:21

aGirlDownUnder1 · 25/03/2014 06:00

Gorgeous name

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 25/03/2014 02:22

There was one in The Worst Witch too. I like it Smile

fideline · 25/03/2014 01:42

Yes Fenella Fielding

fideline · 25/03/2014 01:40

Like the actress from the 60s with the amazing voice. Fielding??

Bearandcub · 25/03/2014 01:37

I know a Fennella shortened to Fenn. Great name

consideringadoption84 · 25/03/2014 01:09

I used to teach one. She'll be 14 now. She was always known as Nella not Nelly which is nicer. I prefer the full version though.

It's a nice name. Points to a rather upper class family maybe. Not that that's a bad thing.

NormHonal · 24/03/2014 23:21

Bit gutted that I am not the first to make the Chorlton and the Wheelies connection!

[old gimmer emoticon]

It sounds posh to me too.

Theimpossiblegirl · 24/03/2014 23:16

I like it, but I also like Fionnuala or Fern as alternatives.

LineRunner · 24/03/2014 23:11

I think Arthur Dent was wrong, mind you. On this and a number of other things.
