I've always thought Fiona's a beautiful name!  It makes me think a little bit of Shrek since that movie came out, but I don't see that being too much of a concern for your child's generation :)

I know a lot of people like it but I don't. Fiona just sounds odd to me when I hear it out lound but I don't know why.

It's pretty enough, but I can't say I would ever use it.

I think it's a nice name that although familiar is not used to death, which I would see as a plus.

I like it! My only issue would be that she would possibly get called FiFi, which reminds me of a cat.

I really don't like it. It seems awkward with the 'ee-oh' sound in the middle. Not elegant or pretty sounding. I thought Fiona made a great ogre name!

i think it's pretty.  i think it's feminine. i like it when it is attached to a person, but when i hear the name spoken on its own, i do actually think about shrek.

I live in Scotland and know a lot of Fionas, they are all late 20s early 30s, and virtually all go by Fi (pronounced Fee). I think it's a great name and due for a come back on this side of the pond.

I really like it but our LN starts with F so I probably wouldn't use it.

I love Fiona.

I don't think it's unique though. I know 3 IRL.

I do like it. A lot. I don't personally associate the name with Shrek which a lot of people do, which even if I did I don't think it's awful.

Its a pretty name, but it does sound old. I forsee it as a name that will be super popular in about 5 years though.

I like Fiona.

However, if you are looking for a "unique" name, Fiona may or may not fit your needs depending on where you live. It's a top-100 name where I live and top-150 in a lot of the Northeast and the Pacific NW.

I do love it. I think its a beautiful name, it was always one of my favorites...and then Shrek came out and I couldnt see naming my beautiful daughter after an ogre so it was off the list.
