Re: Fianna
in reply to a message by vladislava
My gr grandfather was half Irish, half Welsh; I tend to be drawn to Celtic names. :)
Hadn't heard of Fianna, or of the Irish political association. I think Fianna is pretty, though I love the sound of Fiona so prefer that. I think handing down family surnames is nice, particularly those of female ancestors. In combination with Fianna, I do think Davina sounds better than does Davin, though the repeated "-a" ending wouldn't usually be my preference.
