Shrek when you hear the name Fiona?
I think its so pretty but when I've mentioned it to a few people they admitted it made them think of Shrek right away.
I know there are some mom's of Fionas on this board. Care to share the reactions you've received?

Re: Do you automatically think of
Hmm... I don't know that I would have if you hadn't pointed it out.
I don't think the connection is too strong, though. The name existed long before the movies.
I think of Fiona Apple before I think of Shrek. Weird, I know.
But no, I don't automatically think of Shrek. I think Fiona is a great name. Thumbs up from me.
I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me.

No. I think I saw Shrek years ago when my nephew was still a little kid (he's 25 now). I would have never remembered Fiona was a name in that movie.

My mind immediately goes to Sherk, but because (as I have mentioned before) my son is currently on a Shrek kick (its all he watches).
That said, I think Fiona is a beautiful name.

Yes - but only because of my mother. Fiona is on our short list of girl names and when I told my mom, she got this look of horror on her face and said "like the ogre?!?" haha
I love it and really any name you come up with will have some sort of association with it.
I like the name Fiona and one of my friends sister's named her daughter that a few years back.
Yes, it does remind me of shrek. And apple. to be honest. But I do like it...
О Привязать! Z!
YES!!!
I was shocked when I joined thebump and saw how many little Fiona's were out there. I think it's odd how people wouldn't think about it since there's SO.MANY.SHREK movies.
I like the name fine. However automatically think of the green princess.
I didn't think of it until you mentioned it. I really like the name Fiona, and I feel like the movies are on their way out and your LO won't be associated with them.
Go for it!
I love Fiona, it was on my list for both DD's! Yes, I automatically think of Shrek and when I mentioned the name to others they made the same connection. Even though they are making a Shrek 4 the movie will die out and the association will not be linked.
My 2nd thought is Fiona Apple. I like her music.
love is for every her, love is for every him, love is for everyone
#1 these movies arent gunna be popular forever so dont cross is off your list
that said...
#2 i do think shrek first, then EuroTrip (especially when scotty screams "fiiiiiiooooonaaaaa!", and then i start singing "scotty doesnt know..." in my head)
