Re: Fiona or Viola?
in reply to a message by Babochka
Well, my daughter is Fiona and had my son been a girl, I briefly considered naming him Viola, but I was concerned the names were too similar.
They really don't sound too much alike, but look so similar sharing three of the same letters in the same positions, and being five letters long. I though they looked so much alike that as sisters the pair was too cutesy.
Needless to say, I like both names.

I think I really love the -io- / -eo- sound. I know Caitriona you are not suppose to pronounce the o but I love it when the o is pronounced. That sound is part of why I love Fiona and Leona and why I really like Viola. I like Iona but I feel like it is missing something
... like a F :P
I prefer slightly the ee-O sound over the ie-O sound. Though I prefer vie-O-lah over vee-O-lah.
