Honest Opinions on the name Finnick?

Hi! We are 21 Weeks with our first born son and have settled on the name Finnick. We were originally looking at Finnigan but much preferred Finnick. Really not keen on Finley and wouldn’t mind if it was shortened to Finn but want more than just Finn as his name. I know it’s a character in hunger games and we wanted a name that is really unique for him without being too weird - short backstory I went to school with a girl with the same first and last name as me and she was popular so I was deamed “unpopular xxxx” which wasn’t fun so I always said I wanted a unique name but I don’t want to push it too far and it be weird. Thanks ladies - P.S hormonal preggo here so please don’t be brutal.

I was thinking the same thing. I think it is better to have the same name as another child than to have a name so odd no other parents would choose it.

It makes me think of the word finicky, which isn't great. I don't like it, sorry.

I just think of finicky.

I’m afraid it makes me think of “finicky”.

It’s too close to the word “finicky” for me.
