  1. Another great post! My daughter is Fiona – mostly Fee these days (she’s in her 20s) or when little Fifi.
    The spelling of Fee came about as it was easier to text, in the pre smart phone days, F-e-e rather than F-i!
    It’s very hard finding her name on any of those gifts with names on that you find in gift shops/garden centres etc.

  2. F is one of my favourite letters! Flora, Fern, Frey and Finbar are the ones I’d use from your list, but I enjoyed seeing Faraday!

    Many of these are more popular here in the UK: Florence, Flora, Freyja, Fern, Fleur, Fia, Fenella (and her sister Fritha), Fionn, Finnian, Fintan, Fraser, Finbar and Ferdinand are all names of children I know or have met.
