Do you like this? Ds1 Jacob.
Thoughts appreciated and would also love to know what teachers think ;)

I love it.

I don't know any kids called Finn but I do like it as a name!

I’m a TA and have a son called Finn.

So obviously I like it!

Not as common now (mine is nearly 14) and personally I’m not as keen on Finlay/Finley/Fynnlay(!)

Half of my family is Irish so that’s why I went for Finn.

Never felt the love for this as a name. Unless you're Finnish? Otherwise it just conjures up fishy thoughts for me. I'm clearly in the minority judging by the number of Finns around!

My husband's cousin has a nearly 3 year old Finn. It really suits him and I much prefer just Finn compared to Finley, Finnian, Finnick etc. He's actually the only little Finn I know
