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

I love the name Flynn!

Other names… Quinn, Zach, Leon, Oscar or Toby?

I really like Luke @DelurkinfAJ but unfortunately my partner hates it.

@IamnotwhouthinkIam good suggestions. Thank you. I really like Max, John and Adam

Oh and I meant to say, I quite like Flynn - it has a nice sound imo.

Quite trendy - but does have a kind of cool, retro image some of the other names in the "surname as given names" trend don't have imo (thanks to Errol Flynn).

Short names not mentined yet that I like are Heath, Hugh, Max, John, Laith, Zev, Lev, Ivo, Adam, Owen, Evan, Orin, Rowan, Corin, Sam(uel), Xan(der).

Love Flynn. We used it as a middle name.

I like Flynn
I dont like Glyn though.

George? Mason? Brad?

It’s the fire engine train in Thomas the Tank Engine. But I think everyone will get over that and it’s not a bad thing (my first thought was ‘fiery Flynn’.

I like that it’s fairly simple but not too common whilst being an actual name!

Henry rather than Harry? Joseph, Nicholas (Nick), Luke?
