Opinions on Fionn?

[dexterson]

Thought on the name Fionn please! Thanks

Nice if spelt Fiona.

Huh??
Fiona and fionn are 2 completely different names!

Not Fiona! Autocorrect! Ffion!

@SpecialStains sorry? Fiona is a girls name and completely irrelevant?

Bloody autocorrect

I also like Ffion.

It looks like a typo of Fiona

@SpecialStains try again?

I love the sound of the name and was considering it if we had a girl, but it's a Welsh name and I love the Welsh spelling. Doesn't matter what I think though, if you like that spelling, use it!

Oh Irish Fionn! Yes really like it.

@SpecialStains it's Irish and the correct spelling

Ah, never heard of Fionn as a boys name. I'm going to bow out here! Good luck with the name choosing!

Fionn is a boys name though and ffion is a girls.

They are Irish and Welsh names not just interesting variations of fiona.

@elevenclips they may realise when a boy shows up

I think its a nice name but he would clearly have to deal with a lot of ignorance around his name.

For a boy, right?

X post with many. Phew!

Ah I assumed Ffion misspelling too being Welsh Special if it helps!

Lovely name for a boy, OP.

Lovely name, a woman I work with has a Fionn

I think that if you're in Ireland it's lovely.
If in the UK I'd stick with the spelling Finn, just for ease, otherwise the above is inevitable! He'll be called Fi-On or Fiona 🙄

Is it pronounced fee-on? If so I do quite like it.

I'm sorry - I wasn't trying to be deliberately ignorant! Because I love the girls name Ffion I read it as that. I have never met a Fionn so it definitely wouldn't be an overused name if you live in the NW of England.

How's it pronounced? It looks nice and indefinably "masculine" in my eyes but I must admit my first thought was to expect a woman missing an extra F.

Pronounced Finn, however, it's nice but very popular (if that bothers you, it wouldn't me if I really liked the name). What middle name?

I know a female Fionn. Pronounced FEE-on. Scottish. Lovely name, lovely person.
