HelpFiona (m).....
in reply to a message by Babochka
I love both but I prefer Fiona.
Viola and Violet make me think of violent, violence, violate, etc... But the association isn't so strong for me. Just like Iris makes me think of eyes. But the association isn't so strong either. For Viola, Violet and Iris I mostly think of flowers and the people I know of with these names. I had a very nice Swing Dance teacher in high school named Viola. She was Jewish and had a nasally voice with an accent from somewhere in the Northeast. Being from the Northwest I'm not very good at telling the difference between the accents of the Northeast. I pretty good at telling Midwestern accents. I'm also good at telling the difference between New Zealand, British and Australian accents apart.
I love Fiona. The only odd association of it is with the Shrek Movies. It is a fairly common name but it isn't popular. Watching Burn Notice made me re-fall in love with this name. Fiona was my third favorite girls name in middle school. I also liked it in the early part of high school. But then I started to feel that Fiona was too common. After looking at statistics I realized that Fiona isn't that popular. I love the nn Fi. Fio is also cute but I prefer Fi / Fee.
