I like Fiona. To me it seems youthful (not childlike, just not "older" yet), and modern, and smart.
Fenella sounds older to me, more old-fashioned, softer. It's unusual enough in my experience that I think it sounds like more of a UK name and I'd be surprised to see it on an American. I don't like the soft sounds in it. I prefer the crisper sound of Fiona.

I like Fiona, I think it's pretty and sharp in spite of being vowel heavy.

Fenella feels a bit prissy to me in comparison. I don't generally like Ella endings.

Well, fens aren't the prettiest natural features, Nell isn't my favourite name and I'm not keen on fishy Fin(n) either. So it's obvious I'm voting for Fiona! Apart from the fact that I once met a couple who'd just named their baby Fiona but pronounced it FIEona rather than FEEona, I can't find a bad word to say about it, except that it used to have a rather snobbish vibe, but I think that's fading.

I’ve known people named Fiona, and it used to be fairly popular here, but I’ve never been able to separate it from Shrek. It has a pleasing sound and look but I’d prefer Ffion.

I’m really liking Fenella at the minute (I’ve just included it in a poll). It’s the name of one of the characters in Endless Night by Agatha Christie, which is one of my favourites of her books. The character is mostly known as Ellie, though, which I don’t like. If I named a daughter Fenella, I’d call her by her full name, or maybe occasionally Finn.

I think Fiona is too airy, whereas Fenella has a bit of a bite to it. I think they’re both equally flouncy and posh though.
