My sister is pregnant again and I'm trying to find nice baby names for her. She likes short names and ideally the name starts with F :) Thank you Smile

Freya and Fearn are two of my fave names x

KirstenBlest · 19/05/2021 17:25

@itsalltrue22, Ffion doesn't start with F. It starts with Ff, a separate letter in Welsh.

Francesca or Felicity are my favourites.

Ffion is nice too.

Not a fan of Freya, Florence as their popularity rose too quickly and I don't think they are nice sounding names. Don't like Fiona either for different reasons.

As Kirsten says, there is no letter F in Ffion which starts with the letter Ff, which is a Welsh letter. It is a nice name though but is definitely 4 letters long, not 5.

Freya is lovely and so is Fay/Faye.

Is the Welsh letter Ff not pronounced 'f'?
KirstenBlest · 20/05/2021 11:56

@Cowbells, Ff sounds like F, but it isn't two Fs.
F is pronounced V. For example, Falmai is pronounced VAL-my (my as in not yours) - it's a pretty name.

ZoyaTheDestroyer · 20/05/2021 12:41

OP didn’t specify it had to start with the letter F. She could have meant the sound, in which case Ffion is a legitimate suggestion. I don’t see anyone picking up Phoebe with similar levels of pedantry.

KirstenBlest · 20/05/2021 12:46

@ZoyaTheDestroyer,
"and ideally the name starts with F".
I posted before Phoebe was mentioned.

ZoyaTheDestroyer · 20/05/2021 12:49

F is a letter and a sound.
