Is Finn a good name?

I have a lovely 10 year old one . He's happy with it . Considered all the lengthier options but knew I would shorten it anyway .

I've just named my Border Collie puppy that so obviously I love it. Grin

tammytoby · 28/09/2013 07:21

I find it overused.

I would use Finlay with Finn for short.
I like it!

I've got one of them, he's luvly and has a copy of The High Deeds of Finn Mac Cool on his book case, awful proud Grin

Phineas! I love Phineas and Ferb

It's not my style but I'm very surprised by how common (as in popular, not vulgar) it is round here in the North West. More popular than Jack and Harry!

Love it. Also like Flynn. Sounds similar and strong but less common?

DramaAlpaca · 27/09/2013 21:35

Love Finn.

elcranko · 27/09/2013 21:34

I prefer Finley to Finlay.

LoopThePoop · 27/09/2013 21:33

Not Finlay.
Finn is perfect on its own.
Lovely strong boy's name. Finlay is poncey.
Love Finbar though if you wanted a longer version. Squoosh is right.

squoosh · 27/09/2013 21:29

There's Fintan or Finbar too.

I like the name Grin. I prefer it to Finlay, had we called our ds Finlay it would have been shortened anyway.

RVPisnomore · 27/09/2013 21:12

Lovely name, my DS is Finlay, with Fin as his short name.

silasramsbottom · 27/09/2013 21:11

I like it, but I prefer Finlay - Finn for short.
