How would you spell Fern/Ferne/Fearne??

[Justnapping]

I'm 23 weeks pregnant and this is my girl's name but I need some help! How would you spell it? I'd prefer to go for the most "common" form of spelling but I don't know which that would be as I haven't met anyone in real life with this name... Thanks

However you like it! I like the classic Fern though. Fearne looks like it'd be pronounced 'Feern' to me.

I was just coming on to say exactly what SparklyPenguin said!

I like Fern, it's a nature name! However, Ferne would be my second choice. Many nature names get an e added, to make it for of a name. E.g. Skye

Yes, I'd stick with Fern too.

Fern is lovely.
The other ones look too fussy to me.

I'd spell it Fern. I think Fearne only became a spelling because of Fearne Cotton.

Fern is prettiest (the only one I know is a dog, but she's very cute!)

Thanks! Fern was my original but then I got sidetracked by Fearne Cotton. Thanks for your help!!

Fern.

Fern, lovely name :)

I'd spell it Fern because Fearne has FEAR in it.

Fern, definitely.

In order of preference...

Ferne. This is the only name spelling I have known friends with

Fern. The plant, but easily recognised.

Fearne. No. Too messy. Even autocorrect wasn't happy!

Definitely Fern. I'd want to pronounce Fearne as 'Feern.'

Fern

I don't like the a .

So Fern or Ferne.

This is interesting - I would have immediately said Fearne, the other spellings don't look 'finished' to me. But then I don't know any in real life so am probably swayed by Fearne Cotton being the one I'm most familiar with.

Lovely name. Fern.

Ferne or Fern, I would instinctively spell it Ferne now because of Cotton but Fern is probably the most classic choice, unfussy is usually the most timeless.

Fearne but I do love Ms Cotton!

Fern - nice and simple

Seems like there is no obvious answer! I'm going back and forth between Fern and Ferne at the moment...!

Even with a simple name like that your child will still have to explain how to spell it as they grow up.

I have got a fearne and she constantly has to spell out her name.... I wish I had gone with Fern but I felt the Fearne spelling was somehow more substantial!
