Hey, I think these are our final 3 names.
Baby will be half Irish, growing up down south in the UK and a brother to Rory.
I love Jesse, DH loves Dylan, we both liked Finley but concerned it's very popular.

Jesse is lovely. I had Finley on my list when I was expecting. But now my friend has called her dog it & it's put me off!

I like Jesse. It seems to be pretty popular atm, a few threads about it here. Someone will bring up 'you big Jessie' bit I do wonder of people really say that nowadays.

Dylan by far. Slightly biased as I have an adult one. Can you pronounce it correctly?
If not spell it Dillon.

Love hearing Welsh names outside of Wales but only if they are pronounced correctly.

I love all of them!

I think mine would be

Dylan
Jesse
Finley (love it but it's still quite ubiquitous)

Love all three names 🙈 potential favourite Finley but also love Dylan and Jesse

Every other baby is a finn or Finley lately. I don’t particularly like Jesse but I do know a very likeable young Jesse which has helped lately. Dylan is my favourite by far.

Finley (I am biased though as DS is called Finley)
Dylan was our first choice name but didn't go with the middle name we had picked.

Finley

  1. Finley (though I like Finn more).
  2. Dylan
  3. Jesse

Finley (though I prefer the Finlay spelling) is my favourite - and lovely with Rory.

Any of your choices may turn out to be popular (or not) in his particular cohort, so I wouldn’t make the decision based on that.
