DC2 due in 2 weeks and we cannot agree on a name. It’s a boy - we already have a DD Freya.

Thoughts on Flynn? He’d probably be Flynn Patrick.

Apart from starting with the same letter I don’t really see how Flynn is too similar the Freya?
I quite like Flynn. Will probably be misheard as the more common Finn quite regularly but I don’t see that as a major problem. It’s a nice, simple, easy to spell name-and it sounds nice with Patrick👍🏻

It’s too similar to Freya.

Love it.

Also love Quinn?

Or just Fynn.

Not keen.
My first thought with Freya was Oscar.

I'm not keen on it. I think it's the Fl... bit. Nothing good starts with Fl... Flab, Flint, Flubber, Flibbertigibbet, Flabbergasted etc.

Just me Grin?

I love Fionn, but not sure it goes with Freya... How about;

Magnus
Otis
Ezra
Reuben
Miles
Milo

I don't mind the name but it's a bit matchy with Freya for me.

LuluBellaBlue · 23/07/2019 15:23

Love it and goes well with Freya ❤️

It's a bit of a wet, floppy name on it's own.

Frank? Finnegan? Frederick?
