Re: Fiona or Viola?
Neither. Viola makes me think of "violent" and especially "violar" which is Spanish for "to violate" and if I'm not mistaken also for "to rape". I really dislike it. I know one Viola who would be in her very late 20s now. Her sister is named Jasmin. I also know a Ronja-Viola who is in her teens (RON-ya). Both are from Germany. I've never met an American Viola. I like Violet a lot better. For some reason it doesn't make me think of "violent" even though it's closer to the word.I never really liked Fiona. It seems to be such a cliché redhead name. I have red hair myself and love it, but it just annoys me because it seems to me that whenever there's a red haired character in a book or movie there's a 20 percent chance that she is named Fiona. As in Shrek or that book "The Keeper" (I think that's what it's called). I never really understood its appeal.If I had to choose...I dislike them about the same. I guess Fiona.

If I was choosing the most red-haired name I'd say it is Kathryn or Kathleen with the nn Katie. When I hear Kate or Katie I think of a red head. Cate or Catie I think of a blonde.Fiona get's second place. I actually associate it more with green eyes than red hair. But I think I typed that two days ago and you responded to it, so you know that. I picture a blonde or a red head or a strawberry blonde with green eyes with a hint of gold in them. I can also see someone with light - medium auburn or brown hair with green eyes. I associate F's with green. Especially yellow or goldish green. A's are red. I and O are clear and white. N's aren't super strong but they are always a dark color like gray, black, dark dark blue or purple, etc... In Fiona I get grey or black.
