But now I just embrace it. <br /><br />I think Shrek has little, if any, influence on the name's surge in popularity. If anything, I thank Shrek from keeping the name from going up even more. If not for Shrek, I wouldn't be surprised if the name had hit the top 100 or 150 by now. <br /><br />I've heard that Fiona has been very popular in other English speaking countries, and that in the U.K., Fiona is actually quite dated, peaking in the 80s, I think. Someone told me in the U.K. and Australia, Fiona is like Jennifer in the U.S. <br /><br />Lovely, just what I wanted to avoid - naming my kid the next Jennifer! But I think it will be a while, if ever, before the name reaches Jennifer's popularity.Angie @ Upswing Baby Nameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07007329761192679018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987975473741642533.post-24584118051528247442012-01-28T20:44:09.949-08:002012-01-28T20:44:09.949-08:00I ran across someone named Fiana the other day.
