Can I use Yann?

If I already have a Finn? He is officially a Finlay but I only ever call him Finn.

Are Finn & Yann too much? We have another DS (George) so the set would be Finn, George and Yann.

Usable??

Is it a name? Jan would be better.


i do think it is a bit similar to Finn, sorry.

Regardless of your other dc's names, I think Yann is a bit odd. Sorry.

I know a French Yann. I think they are alright together.

Yes it is a name. Thanks for your opinion (although it wasn't what I wanted to here :))

I think they sound too much alike (sorry).

Would you consider a longer version, Yannick?

Yannick sounds like someone with hiccups

I was thinking of the tennis player - pronounced (by commentators at least) as Yan-neek

Yannick is a diminutive of Yann so I'd rather just stick with the original Yann (which I much prefer too).

I know a Yann .. but a Finn / Yann combo is a bit too much. I'm thinking Finn Yann Tann or Klu klux clann Blush

I like Yann, I know an adult Yann and he's yummy lovely!
I think Yann and Finn are ok together

Personally I think it's too similar to Finn.

I know a Jan - not sure about the spelling of Yann.

I think they go alright together as they don't rhyme or anything do they?

I know a French Yann too - one of the loveliest, most genuine people I've ever met (teeny crush!).
I like the name and think it's fine with Finn.

Oooh no. Finn and George are such lovely names. Dont ruin them by adding in Yann!!!

German options include

Yannick
Jan (pronounced Yan)

I'd use Yannick and shorten to Yann. I don't think it is too similar to Finn.
