I've loved the name finely / finlay a long time (I knew a really lovely one years ago!) but it's become pretty popular...should this put me off?
We're not telling people our names but a couple of people have suggested it as a name they like, so at least I know it's not going to freak everyone out!
The trouble is that we're struggling to think of other boy names...there are a lot of boys in our families and I've had quite a few boy pets!!

Well, as someone pointed out on a thread a while ago, even the Top100 are talking about name numbers being given in the thousands, and there's quite a few more inhabitants than that in the UK, so even 'being popular' doesn't mean he'll be sharing a class with 20 others of the same.

If you like it - use it!

Oh, and congratulations. Smile
