I initially thought Fenn but assumed it was for a boy, not sure Fenn also works for a girl so perhaps Fen.

I really, really like it! Short, elegant nature name. Single ‘n’. Fen. Lovely.

Agree with the PPs. I immediately thought it was a boy’s name. Your DD won’t thank you when she has everyone making that assumption. If you love it, call her Fenella which is unusual and everyone knows it’s a girl.

Have you thought of naming her Slough, Bog or Marsh?

Fenella is great. Fen - weird, especially if you live in Cambridgeshire.

Is it a nickname for something? It looks unfinished. Made me think a bit of fearne

Fenton! Fenton!
It would just make me think of the crazy dog and deer.

Fenella is interesting though

As in the Fens? I’d assume Fenn was male,probably because of Finn.

As a shortening for Fenella, I'd say Fen. As a name in it's own right, I'd say neither.
