I FINALLY found a feminine version of Finn!

I love the boys’ name [name_u]Finn[/name_u], but I had trouble coming up with any girl forms besides [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] [which is great, but not quite what I was looking for]. Now I have one: [name_f]Ffion[/name_f]. Pronounced [name_u]FEE[/name_u]-un or [name_u]FEE[/name_u]-on, it’s Welsh, it apparently means “foxglove”. WDYT?

I love names that are “outside the box” but I’m not a big fan of [name_f]Ffion[/name_f]. I just think people would have a hard time pronouncing it. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter is [name_u]Dara[/name_u]…just like [name_f]Sara[/name_f] but with a D. People never get her name right and it makes her so mad! [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Fia[/name_f], or even [name_u]Finlee[/name_u]? I love boy names for girls. :slight_smile:

I like [name_f]Fia[/name_f], but I have [name_f]Kia[/name_f] and Sia on my list, so I’m trying to stay away from it. :slight_smile:

Meh. I like the meaning, and I want to like [name_f]Ffion[/name_f], since I’m part Welsh, but I just can’t get into it. The sound isn’t terribly appealing to me. Though probably COMPLETELY unusable, I came across Fionnabhair (I think I’m spelling it right!), pronounced [name_u]FINN[/name_u]-ah-vare. I think it sounds so lyrical and beautiful!

What about Finna? I remember seeing it as a middle name on someone’s list (as a middle, I think). I remember her saying it was an Icelandic word for something, and I remember liking the word, but I don’t remember what it was (traveler, maybe?). I think it could make a cool name for a girl, even though I’m generally not a big proponent of taking random words in other languages and using them as a name (although I do think the [name_m]French[/name_m] verb, améliore®, would make a great girls’ name!).

Out of curiosity, if [name_u]Finn[/name_u] is one of your top names for boys, why are you looking for a feminine variant, too? [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and [name_f]Ffion[/name_f] obviously aren’t usable together…

People won’t spell or say it right. Go with finley for finlee in my opinion. [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] is cute

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Fina[/name_f] ([name_u]Fee[/name_u]-na), usually used as a nn for [name_f]Josefina[/name_f].
You could also use Finora, [name_u]Finley[/name_u], Fineane, [name_m]Finesse[/name_m] and use [name_u]Finn[/name_u] as a nn.

Thanks. :slight_smile:
@ashthedreamer–I don’t know, it’s my absolute favorite name for a boy and I felt like it would be cool to have a female form. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Ffion[/name_f] seems like it would be confusing. [name_f]Finola[/name_f] is quite nice.

Maybe I’ll just put [name_f]Fflur[/name_f] [fleer] on my list instead. :slight_smile:
