Fenna?

[Susannach]

Dutch name Fenna for a girl? Yay or nay?

Not keen. Do you have any Dutch connections? There are welsh names Menna and Wenna, if that helps.
I quite like Fenella.

Only loose Dutch connections.

Sorry, but I like Fenna much more than Menna or Wenna!

Too close to senna for my taste (as in the laxative)

I agree that it sounds like some kind of herbal remedy.

There must be nicer Dutch names

Reminded me of Senna too, sorry!

sounds a bit like an abbrieviation for a 'feminine hygiene product'

Fenna us the surname if the mean prison governor in Wentworth series !

I don't particularly like Menna or Wenna either. They're ok.
If you like Fenna then use it.

Too close to senna (laxatives) or tena (lady) for me personally.

Another for Senna.

When I clicked on the thread on active, I didn’t know it was going to take me to the baby names board.

I don't love it. A similar sounding name I think is prettier is Fina.

It's my dogs name :) 🐶

How about Fenella?

Fenna could be a nn

I quite like it! It's simple and unusual :) It doesn't make me think of anything else...
If you love it, go for it :)

Really not a fan.

Makes me think of Fenesten

I quite like it too. I know a fenny, which imo sounds much ruder. Fenna reminds me of 'forna'

None of these associations had occurred to me! Good thing I asked on here. Never heard of Senna personally but it seems lots have!

I think in the U.K., people will assume that it's a name where you can't tell if it's a first name or surname like McKenzie and assume it's spelled Fenner.

I was going to say it sounds a bit herbal/medicinal.

There’s an Icelandic name Finna

Like a fen (Fenn in German, so the association is pretty strong for me personally)?

It's a really beautiful (and slightly romantic) association imo... I really like this name :) Fenella is also nice.

Maria Yes, that’s what I think of too.

I like it, also like the Scandinavian Finns
