Fearne
About Fearne
This spelling variation of Fern may appeal to those who enjoy the sounds of the plant name, but want something that looks and feels less "wordy" for their baby — just as people choose Scarlett over Scarlet or Brooke over Brook. While Fern is currently the more popular option, Fearne features in the England and Wales Top 1000, and it even outranked Fern between 2012 and 2017.
British TV and radio presenter Fearne Cotton has helped familiarize this form, which has never appeared in the US stats.
Pronounced FERN.
