Fenn

[FriggFRIGG]

It's too close to Finn,isn't it?

Or is it?

It's a girl in the Freya North books.

But yes, it is v close to Finn.

It's short for Fenella or something just as daft isn't it?

It's a name in its own right...I like it for a boy,but I reckon he'd be forever correcting people "no,not finn it's fenn "

I know a Fennick who is known as Fenn - I quite like it

Ooh!
I like Fennick!!

Fennick is great! Fenn feels like it's missing something, but Fennick fills that gap :)

It's where eels live.

I can't find any information on Fennick....I'm not sure it's a 'real' name...

No I don't think it is either?

Ok - just checked with his Auntie and it's spelt Fenwick but they pronounce it Fennick.

I think it's difficult for a boy because it sounds like fen (wild and swampy in other words).

But it mainly reminds me of Douglas Adams (Fenchurch in SLATFALTF)...

I think Fen sounds lovely on its own.

I'd expect a Fen(n) to be female (Fenella).

Fenwick would be fine though (transferred surname) unless the association with the family that founded the shop puts you off (it is what I'd think of first)

I like it.

I like it- think its got a completely different feel to finn

Fenton?

Sounds like the place to me, sorry. Bleak.

I know a little boy called Fenn! I like it.

Thanks for your input....it seems not everyone hates it

I like it as it is,im not keen on surnames for first names,and fenton makes me think of that dog
I also,perhaps weirdly,quite like the 'wild and swampy' connotations...our DC are a bit wild and swampy anyway...

I really like Fenn. I wouldn't worry too much whether Fennick/Fenwick is a "real" name or not - all names were made up once upon a time!

Fennick makes me think of Finnick from the Hunger Games. Not an altogether bad association though :)

I went to uni with a Fenn many, many years ago. Don't know what his full name was though - he only ever used Fenn. (He was also rather dreamy ....)

I like Fenn in it's own....I'm not a fan of recently made up names.
Fenn is a name in its own right,both our other DC have short names too.

It's on The List

I know a Fennimore, boy name if that helps.
