It's so overused where I live :-( Not so much anymore, but from the 50s until the 80s baby girls were all being given the name. For that reason, it sounds dull to me. I'd probably like it otherwise.

I once loved it. Then Fiona Apple came on the scene, and I dropped it to "like".. then Shrek. So much for that. I also found out it does not have the authentic prn "FEEna" -- believing it did had given it tons of charm, for me. FeeOHna sounds a bit weird.Anyway, I still like it; I just wouldn't use it myself.off-the-cuff mn suggestions:
Fiona Charmaine
Fiona Ursula
Fiona Iola
Fiona Miranda

Fiona doesn't have the authentic pron. FEE-na ... but, confusingly, the Irish name Fíona does :-S It's sometimes spelled Fina, to clarify that.

Yes, that's what I said - it does not have that prn :-)A great source on Fiona:http://www.medievalscotland.org/problem/names/fiona.shtmlIt also seems to suggest that the Irish name Fíona is possibly a modern invention in reaction to Fiona. - chazda

I like it a lot. I used to like it more but now that it's more heard of and not really that unique anymore, it lost some of it's appeal with me but I still think it's a beautiful name.
