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

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.

I know a Fennella shortened to Fenn. Great name

fideline · 25/03/2014 01:42

Fen-ELL-a

RabbitPies · 25/03/2014 14:06

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

magicalmrmistoffelees · 25/03/2014 18:10

I like it, and love Fen as a nickname

Salmotrutta · 25/03/2014 21:49

I like it.

And I remember Fenella Fielding - lovely husky voice! Smile

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

DramaAlpaca · 25/03/2014 22:24

I really like it.

squoosh · 26/03/2014 00:34

Posh, jiggly breasted, horsey girl.

fideline · 26/03/2014 00:41

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

LadyWishfort · 26/03/2014 17:52

Love that fideline Grin.
Fenella's fab!

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.

NigellasDealer · 27/03/2014 11:46

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