Baby Names

Fiona

Do you automatically think Shrek? 

I like the name but don't like the Shrek association.

  • I do not automatically think of Shrek.  It isn't really a terrible association anyway though.

  • No, and it's been what, 3 years since a movie came out?  It's not like you're naming her Cinderella, where the name ahs always been associated with a fairy tale...

  • Nope, I think of Gabrielle Anwar's character Fiona Glenann from "Burn Notice" - and she's one BA chick!  Its a cool name.

  • Not at all. I knew 3-4 Fionas before I had even heard of Shrek.

  • I do... we have friends that named their DD Fiona and it took me a long time to not just be like "ugh... shrek" every time I heard the time.   It's just NMS.

  • I do, but only because that's one of the names we were considering until someone pointed that out. Now every time I see it it's automatically what I think (which is why we took the name off our list).

  • I automatically think Shrek, I would also be concerned about my little girl being bugged being called an oger?

  • I don't at all. This has been my favorite name ever since I read The Giver when I was a kid. I know some people do make that association, but I wouldn't let that affect your decision. It's a beautiful name!

  • I automatically think of the female character, Fiona, in Shameless.

  • I don't automatically think of Shrek. Actually, the family dog has that name, and she was named before Shrek even came out the first time, and we named her after a character in Brigadoon (great musical, BTW, if you're into that). I think it's a beautiful name and if we didn't have a dog named that I would seriously consider it for a future daughter of my own.
