Second boy (was sure he was a she before scan so girl's name all chosen Blush) first born has a good solid name - Samuel James (Sam except when he's naughty!)
I've found it a bit tricky to bond with this baby and a name would help. We think we've settled on Flynn Fitzgerald (husband has very red hair and is half Irish and the name means 'son of a red haired man') what do people think? Just scared after giving first son such a 'solid' name to go a bit rogue!

As long as your surname doesn't begin with S

It's fine but depends on your surname.

Fynn even - just found a possible auto correct issue to bear in mind!!!

It's the Funn bit that means son of a red haired man.

It isn't rogue at all, don't worry. They're both normal, good names.

Fitzgerald is an homage to my favourite author - wouldn't have had the balls to do it first baby!!! I think it balances the short Flynn too. It was going to be Flynn Thomas but it didn't scan so well when said - I may be wrong!

From an outside POV they're of equal weight.

Flynn is pretty solid, and I love Fitzgerald.

Doesn't Fitzgerald mean son of Gerald?
Flynn is a good name. Nothing wrong with solid!
