and yes, it should really be Finlay not Finley.

MadIsTheNewNormal · 17/01/2014 05:41

Finley. Khylan is beyond awful and sounds completely made up.

BananaHammocks · 17/01/2014 05:36

FYI Finley is actually the more popular spelling.

peppapigmustdie · 17/01/2014 02:14

Finley (only ever seen it spelt Finlay)
Khylan looks like a made up name, sorry.

Finlay.

Khylan does sound made up.

ToysRLuv · 17/01/2014 01:59

FinlAy is great.

Khylan - awful.

sleepingbeautiful · 17/01/2014 01:39

Finley for sure.
Don't like Khylan, looks kind of messy.
If you like K names what about Kian, Kit, Kane, Kirk or Kieran?

redrubyindigo · 16/01/2014 23:55

Finlay not Finley

Khylan sounds like a cleaning product.

'Khylan, it will clean whiter than white and even removes mildew and limescale!'

I would buy it!

NinjaPenguin · 16/01/2014 23:42

I love Finley, as I love the nickname Finn, but Finley sounds handsome and strong iyswim, as a name. Khylan has a ring to it though, but overall, definitely Finley. What about Flynn, Kaiden?

Only1scoop · 16/01/2014 23:03

It's Finlay isn't it? don't like the other name, Finlay is ok though.

littleredsquirrel · 16/01/2014 23:00

Should point out that khylan will be pronounced in the same way as kai Lan which:

  1. Is a girl's name (and this is very well know amongst pre schoolers who watch the very popular programme "Ni Hao Kai Lan")
  2. Is the chinese version of Karen
  3. also means chinese broccoli (kale).

All in all not the best name for a little boy.

Finlay is far better

JumpingJackSprat · 16/01/2014 22:47

Finley is dull. I like Khylan.

SecretRed · 16/01/2014 22:44

Finley

LottieJenkins · 16/01/2014 22:44

How about Flynn?

wetaugust · 16/01/2014 22:42

Khylan - Ky for short I presume like Colleen Rooney's? Big Yuk!

Finley - try shouting it in a playground and see how many kids turn round. Soooooo common. So another yuk!.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 16/01/2014 22:38

Finlay. Lovely name. Job done ??.

Littlefish · 16/01/2014 22:35

Finlay or Finley.

Khylan - not in a million years.

TravellingToad · 16/01/2014 22:35

Finlay

Wtf is Kalyan?

LaurieFairyCake · 16/01/2014 22:33

Finlay

But no stupid 'e', it's not how it's spelt.

The other ones not even a name, just a collection of consonants.

Biscuitsneeded · 16/01/2014 22:32

Finlay (or Finley if you really must) by a country mile. Sorry.

MrsJohnDeere · 16/01/2014 22:32

Finlay although I prefer Finn or Finntan

Itsallinyourheaddear · 16/01/2014 22:30

Finlay
