I like them both and know real people with those names. Edwina is a reference librarian, she is a very down to earth person and Fiona is a finance professional. I believe both were old family names - either way - they are pretty names.

Edwina is pretty bad, IN MY OPINION. Edwina hit a peak of 433rd most popular name during the 1930s. Fiona is nice. Fiona was ranked the 327th most popular girls name in 2004, and 378th in 2005

I don't like Edwina at all-- but it's really your decision to make. I don't care for Fiona either, but it's better than Edwina.

Hmmm... Edwina, Fiona, I feel bad for this poor child... Can u imagine the teasing shell go through when in school?

To be perfectly honest, at least in the U.S., which is all I can really judge for, I find Edwina to be hideous. Not only does it sound archaic, but it's obviously based off a stereotypically-nerdy male name. I kind of like Fiona, though. It's elegant.
I REALLY, REALLY don't mean to be rude, and in the end it's all a matter of taste. I just know what it's like to be teased about your name in grade school and wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I like Fiona better. I don't like Edwina at all. It reminds me of a real old lady. I would have liked to know what middle name you are choosing.

I had a babysitter named Edwina. She was African-American. Its not a bad name, I would go with Fiona though.

I like Fiona better, it sounds more feminine. I'm concerned Edwina (especially if you use the nickname Ed) could be confused for a male

Well I think if you name your kid Edwina,they are going to be picked on,you obviously know this or you wouldn't be saying don't laugh?!Kids are cruel,and you could prevent this child from getting picked on so why not do it?Fiona,I don't really think is all that bad!
