Both have been done to death IMO, Ryan 15 years ago and Finley 10 years ago.

Not my opinion- but I've seen on here that Ryan tops the list of "naughty" names over and over again.

It sounds harsh to me, don't know why.

Finley

Really dislike Ryan.

UsernameInvalid66 · 19/06/2017 15:56

I like Finley better but I prefer the spelling Finlay. Ryan isn't awful though!

CPtart · 19/06/2017 13:41

Finley, although I don't like it. But it's better than. Ryan negative connotations

Finlay? Fintan?

chinlop · 19/06/2017 13:11

In 10-20 years, Finley/Finlay/Finn are going to be as dated as Ryan is now. So go with Ryan, which in a couple of decades will probably be cool again!

chipsnmayo · 19/06/2017 13:07

Finley is a nice name. Although I prefer Finn.

Ryan is okay but it was done to death in the 90s.

Ohyesiam · 19/06/2017 12:43

All the Ryan's I know have been violent, so that's coloured my perception! It does seen such a macho name though.

@LucieLucie no? Finley is actually the most popular male spelling

I don't like that spelling of Finley, isn't it the female version of Finlay??

LorLorr2 · 18/06/2017 16:09

Ryan I'd say :)
