Fiona is one of my dh's top names (Fiona Jane, to be exact). I think it's nice as well. My fave combos are Fiona Margaret and Fiona Mary. I also like your combo, Fiona Miriam.

One of my absolute favorite names!
I don't think it's been ruined by Shrek, but I might be biased lol.

---

As for combos, I like:

---

Fiona Anne
Fiona Jane
Fiona Brynn

I feel like I *should* love the name Fiona: it's Celtic, has a medieval aspect to it, is three syllables, easy to spell, etc.

---

However - and I don't necessarily think it's because of Shrek - I find Fiona to be *too* princess-y at times. It's too much, imo.

---

Fiona was the first name that I fell in love with as a child, when I was a budding name nerd. I still like it but it's not one of my all-time top names any more. A couple of real-life ones have put me off it a bit. It's a bit dated to me as I know a few in their late 20s and 30s if not older. I certainly don't think of Princess Fiona, but that's not a terrible association. The only downside is that Fionas tend to get nicknamed Fi which I hate!

---

I'm rubbish at coming up with combos for other people. Fiona Miriam works though as does Evelyn Fiona. Fiona Evelyn would too, I think.

Fiona seems like a good name.

---

Some combos:

---

Fiona Christine
Fiona Jane
Fiona Joy
Fiona Therese
Fiona Valerie
Fiona Suzanne
Fiona Kelleigh
Fiona Charity
Fiona Yvette

---

I love Fiona! It was in my mothers list as a potential name for me :) But now I am a Vanessa, okay, too ;)

---

Evelyn Fiona is a great combo! By the way, my granny is called Evelyn, so I have to love it :D

I don't like Fiona that much. Yes it can be associated with Shrek but I don't think everyone will think of that connection.

---

I love the name Ffion though!

---

Kiera Fiona
Violet Fiona / Fiona Violet
Fiona Shea
Fiona Maeve
Fiona Delaney
Fiona Davina
Fiona Bryn

I'm more of a Leona fan, but Fiona is lovely too. I don't think it's too associated with the Shrek character. I actually forgot about Princess Fiona.

---

Fiona Miriam is beautiful. I also like Evelyn Fiona, which has an excellent flow, but Evelyn is getting more and more popular these days where I live. It isn't nearly as popular in the UK as it is in the U.S., though.

Aw, Fiona is cute, so charming and full of energy. I don't think Shrek has hurt it a bit.

---

I really like Evelyn Fiona.

---

I like Fiona, it's a light, happy sort of name. I knew two Fionas before Shrek so it doesn't really have that association for me - it might for some but I don't think it matters, it's not like it was made up for the film.
Both of your combos are pretty and work well.
Ffion is lovely, but I think people in the UK would assume you were Welsh if you used it.
