Finbarr or Fingal with Fin as nn - both more unusual than Finn on its own

only Tor I've known was a nightmare girl called Victoria

I hear Tor as a shortening for Victoria (have a cousin who uses it). So Finn.

I know a Finn and a Tor and both are lovely boys. There are a lot of Finn's about. The Tor I know is Danish. I would go for Tor but both my kids have Scandinavian names.

Finn is much nicer

T(h)orfinn sounds a good compromise to me.

Torbjörn may be difficult to pronounce but I quite like it (it means the Bear of Thor).

Torsten/Torstein is another possibility (Stone of Thor).

I have a Finn, I love his name. Come across a few Finlays but no other Finns so far, don't care anyway, it's perfect for him.
I had a dog called Torrunn (gaelic spelling, pronounced Torin - means thunder in Scottish gaelic.)

I know a Thorfinn (not sure of spelling) his dad is Icelandic

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
