Fenn

[Lexi2013]

Hi

Quite like the name Fenn for my newborn daughter.

When i googled it, it seems to be a boys name. Does anyone know girls that have that name - i'd never heard of it till my friend suggested it ( and reassured me it was a girls name!) and since then it has kind of grown on me.

So is it a unisex name or will my daughter hate me forever for giving her an unusual boys name?? Lol

Yes I know a female Fenn! Not short for anything, just Fenn. I think it’s lovely. I’ve never heard of it on a boy.

Lovely name for either sex.

I think it's pretty. You could call her Fennella if you wanted a longer version and use Fenn as a nickname but I think it sounds fine on it's own also

Sounds like it's short for something - Fenella?

I know a little boy Fenn, but think it’s cute for either

The only Fenn I’ve ever known is a girl. It’s pretty.

Might people confuse it with Fern? Seems quite likely.

It's the name of the little girl who wrote the 'dinosaurs in love' song.

That's the only Fenn I've ever heard of.

Finn is a name for boys usually. Might it get confused with that? I like it though.

I know of a female Fenn. Though I think she may have an e on the end. It's really grown on me.

It’s awful sorry. Too blunt sounding and it just isn’t nice sounding at all

It's my middle name. It was my granny's maiden name. I rather like it and I've never met another one.

We had listed Fenia (or Fenya) as a possiblity for our DD, it made our top 5 but we chose something else once she was born.

I know a female Fen, short for Fenella and think it's lovely.

There is a tv show called the magicians which has a female character called Fen.
I hadn’t heard it before but I really like it.

I'm not keen as everyone adds an "ie" or "y" on the end of all names these days so it will be Fennie or Fenny. Fanny basically.

Ooh I’ve never heard it before but I quite like it

I've never heard of but I think it's horrible

It's nice, simple and pretty.

Not keen. If I heard it, I don't think I could separate it from "fen" meaning marsh (as in The Fens).

How about Fenna? It's a Dutch name. Or Fenella as someone mentioned upthread? Fiona?

Or even Finn, which I think could work on a girl (admittedly I'm probably swayed by a book I read a few years ago with a female character in it called Finn).

Fin or Finn are occasionally used for girls as short forms of Fionnuala/Finola.

Definitely a girls name. Short for Fenella.

I know of a Fen who is an adorable, feisty 4 year old. At first I really didnt like it but it has grown on me.

I would spell it Fen, as I think Fenn is too similar to Finn.

I know a female Fenn.

I only know one male Fenn. But it does have a feminine sound to it. I like it xx
