Fenella anyone?

[looblee]

Fenella take anyones fancy? Desperately trying to think of alternatives to Daisy, DH loves it I think its nice but could be a bit Cutesy.

Noooo. Fussy and just not very pretty.

I think it was the name of an Enid Blyton character, can't remember which book. One with a circus?

I like it

Unusual, and unusual initial

YOu spell it how you say it

Not difficult to pronounce or read

won't be any others in her class

Not pink & girly yes, but that is a bonus!

Fenella Fudge!

luckily our surname doesn't start with an F and goes well with Fenella - My OP isn't clear its Daisy I think is cutesy and my DH loves, he's not so keen on Fenella but could be pursuaded I am sure.

A new baby Fenella was greeted with groans from colleagues, from which I gathered everyone hated her name, so sorry, no.

Sorry no. Fenella was the mad welsh witch in Chorlton and the Wheelies. Damn I'm old....

And a character in a Jilly Cooper novel set in the eighties.

No I don't like it. She will end up being called Fen which is a bit shit really.

Can't you just call her Ella?

THere's a teenage Fenella at my school and she is known as Nelly. I quite like it but wouldn't choose it personally

bah! someone beat me to it with Chorlton and the wheelies...
she was so cool! And green, and lived in a kettle, iirc.

Sorry looblee didn't mean to be rude. Fenella Fudge is a newsreader on Radio 2. I always smile when I hear her name as I think it's great.

sorry this reminds me of fennel...

Yes, jeanl Fenella fudge always makes me smile too. I wonder if she has a sister called Rumnraisin.

I was at school with a Fenella (Fen, always), think it's quite nice.

What about Rosa?

Sounds a bit posh to me .

Hideous.

Ha ha it stirs up some opinions! I always laugh at Fenella Fudge, heard she married into the name as well!

Oh well you all have the same opinion as DH, I love Fenn for a boy you see, back to the drawing board. I'd hate to pick a name everyone sniggered at behind our backs!

Wasn't Fenella the witch in Chorlton and the Wheelies?

I've never heard it before. It's not awful.

We know a Fenella, commonly called Nella.

not my cup of tea, but nothing wrong with it!

But there is the Fenella Fudge thing.. had forgotten about that!

Fenella (Manx Gaelic female name meaning 'white shoulder, Irish "fionnghuala") here
Fenella beach is a pretty beach in Peel

Sorry but I also immediately think of a green witch in a kettle

you are a fine one to talk with a name like joydivisionovengloves.

HOW did you get that one???

I know a Fenella but she's always been called Nellie- by everyone!

Personally really like it.
