30 are you suggesting being a teacher is ‘aiming low’ Hmm

Finch isn’t good, sorry.

Quite like it for a little boy and as he grows up, everyone will assume it's his surname.

If you're ok with that it's ok.

No! No! No!

It's awful. It sounds like a hard drinking, worn out 70s TV detective to me.

Immediate connotation for me is 'Shitbreak' from American Pie. I'm sure that'll be a generational thing, but just my 2 penneth!
