Fen or Fenn ?

[Lexi2013]

Cant decide on which spelling for my baby girl. What do you think ladies??

As a shortening for Fenella, I'd say Fen. As a name in it's own right, I'd say neither.

As in the Fens? I’d assume Fenn was male,probably because of Finn.

Fenton! Fenton!
It would just make me think of the crazy dog and deer.

Fenella is interesting though

Is it a nickname for something? It looks unfinished. Made me think a bit of fearne

Fenella is great. Fen - weird, especially if you live in Cambridgeshire.

Have you thought of naming her Slough, Bog or Marsh?

Agree with the PPs. I immediately thought it was a boy’s name. Your DD won’t thank you when she has everyone making that assumption. If you love it, call her Fenella which is unusual and everyone knows it’s a girl.

I really, really like it! Short, elegant nature name. Single ‘n’. Fen. Lovely.

I initially thought Fenn but assumed it was for a boy, not sure Fenn also works for a girl so perhaps Fen.

I actually don’t dislike Fen as a name. I’ve been thinking about it. The dictionary definition isn’t that inspiring with its description of low, boggy marshland, but in reality fens are beautiful.

I like it. I thought girl from thread title. I'd go with Fen I think.

My brother had a dog called Fen. I would assume Fen would be a boy, it's a bit bland either way.

Is it a name? Is it short for Fence?

Fern?

Fenella is ok, with nickname Fen, but I don’t really like it. Sorry!

I like Fern!

Fenella is nice.

Yes i have called a Fenella FEnn, very occasionally written it. Better then the other nick name "Nelly". Fenella is so much nicer or Finolla.

Neither. I also assumed boy from the title because of how close it is to Finn.

Fenn looks more complete as a name than Fen. I assumed for a boy though sorry.. its cute though

Fenn does not look complete imo

Fenella looks complete.

Fenn is a boys name.

Fenna is a girls name.

What about Ffehnn make it look kinda welsh innit. 🤣

Fen, not as pretty as Quagmire, (nn Qua) but nicer than Swamp.
