I much prefer Finn. William is too royalist for me. Finn also works well in other European countries. I know a Danish Finn (adult).

With William you have a more traditional name, but a much more common one.

Finn is more unusual, but possibly in a bit of a trend right now, which means it may sound dated in decades to come. No way of knowing for sure, but there's a higher chance of that than with William.

Personally I think Finn is much cooler so I'd risk it. William is just so boring.

I prefer William

I appreciate opinions, there's no need to be nasty that's all.

zen1 · 24/11/2016 17:48

I like Finn, but I suppose there are more options with William: Will; Billy etc.

Bit mean though Flogging.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 24/11/2016 17:45

William

Floggingmolly · 24/11/2016 17:45

It's my opinion. We're all allowed one.

ShallNotBeNamed · 24/11/2016 17:44

Flogging.. there's no need to say Finn is shite, what's wrong with just saying which one you prefer?

Swearwolf · 24/11/2016 17:44

Finn, definitely. Williams are everywhere, it's so dull.

KlingybunFistelvase · 24/11/2016 17:43

William for me too.

William. Finn is shite. Overused shite at that. William is lovely.
