What do in you think of Flynn?

We are really struggling to find a boy's name we like and can agree on

We both think Flynn is ok, but don't love it.

Any other ideas?
We like short names. Examples of what we like but can't use are James, Alex, Harry, Zack, Finn, Ben, Jack

Our little lad is Flynn and he’s 9 now. Everyone loves his name, no one in his school has it and it’s pretty unique and Suits him.

It's a surname of course , from 'flann' meaning 'ruddy ' in Irish. But if the sound goes with your own surname , why not?

I'm saving it though in case we have a DDog in the future though... 🐾

Sawyersfishbiscuits · 23/07/2021 16:35

I love it and it was on my list at number 2 but it's a close family member's surname.

The boy who played the main character in The Snow Spider is called Fflyn which I assume is the Welsh spelling. I thought this was pretty cool too.

MirandaBlu · 23/07/2021 16:32

Love previous suggestions of Adam and Hugh, also Finn and James from your "can't use" list. I feel like you about Flynn: don't mind, don't love.

Adding:
Andre
Blake
Bryn
Charles
Eli
Ewan/Ewen
Ezra
Flann
Giles
Joel
Niall
Noel
Rhett
Rhys
Van
