Finola is lovely. I much prefer it to Fenella, Fionghualla or Fiona.

I love Finola. I secretly like Finola and Cliona as sisters, Fin and Clio. I doubt I'll use them though.

I love Finola! I prefer Fionnuala, but I realize it's not as user-friendly as Finola. Nola is a cute nn. ("NOLA" is also an abbreviation for New Orleans, Louisiana. So if you have any connection to the area, it might make a nice tribute.)

I like it quite a bit, and this is one of the Anglicized spellings I prefer (Fionnuala is a bit much, lol). Finola Maeve would be lovely, imo. I prefer the nn Nola to Fin, though, mainly because I'm not big on unisex names (or nn's) and I love Finn for a boy. :b

Well, Finola is pretty, but nms. I prefer Fenella over Finola, and Fionnghuala over Fenella.
