Iona

I loved it for my last baby, and am thinking about it a lot again.

What does everyone think?

I like it! It’s pronounced like Eye-own-a, right? I like [name_f]Alyona[/name_f] too. :slight_smile:

very original

I like it, but I prefer [name_f]Ione[/name_f] (ee-OH-nee). I do think [name_f]Iona[/name_f] sounds lovely with your other children.

Nice choice! Can’t wait for the middle name!:cool:

I like it! Personally I prefer this over [name_f]Fiona[/name_f].

I really like it, it’s very pretty.

Thanks so much for the feedback. getting pretty excited about this one now.

I have a BFFL named [name_f]Iona[/name_f] and she is the nicest, funniest, prettiest, most understanding person I’ve ever met. If you use [name_f]Iona[/name_f], which I wouldn’t normally like but it’s my friend’s name, it’s pronounced eye-yo-nah.

Have always loved the name.

[name_f]Iona[/name_f]…

It’s a nice name however I prefer [name_f]Ilona[/name_f].

@prairiekeeper, we’re passing so many middle names back and forth!
What do you think of:

[name_f]Iona[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Myrtle[/name_f]
[name_f]Iona[/name_f] [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] [name_f]Posy[/name_f]

[name_f]Iona[/name_f] [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] [name_f]Posy[/name_f] is sweet. It would be a great choice.

Ions is a wonderful name. It brings to mind a song called [name_f]Iona[/name_f] [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] by [name_u]Larkin[/name_u] Gayl.

I adore [name_f]Iona[/name_f]!!! I also love [name_f]Io[/name_f], but I think you can use [name_f]Io[/name_f] as a NN :slight_smile: It’s a rare, romantic and historic name that sounds mystical and melodious…

One of our favorites. NN [name_f]Onie[/name_f]!

[name_u]Love[/name_u] love love it!

I love it. It’s very popular in my area though.

It sounds great with [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m].
