How would you pronounce Ffion?

So, the name Ffion is really growing on me. However, we live in England and I'm wondering how easy it will be for people to pronounce and whether it's a name they'll be familiar with. It's a Welsh name, meaning 'foxglove'. Thanks.

I'd pronounce it Fin, because I know a teenage male one and that's how he pronounces it.

He gets called Fee-on a lot, which I know he hates.

Oh wait, the one I know is actually a Fionn - different name!

Fee-on

@MariLwyd, Ffibi was mentioned recently on a similar thread. I don't think it's that bad.

I know full well that Ffion is spelt the way it is. I know several. There is one in my family.

The Fionn confusion would put me off, otherwise it's a pretty name.
