What are your thoughts on this name? It is very unusual and is Biblical I think?

I have never met one so I find it hard to imagine on a person, but I am really falling for it. My husband loves the name Finn so I think I may be able to sway him.

I rather like it, probably because The Pallisers was shown during my formative years and Phineas Finn was rather cute.

I just think it looks and sounds so beautiful. I'm quite surprised by the negative reaction. I have never seen or heard of the cartoon.

I'm a very big fan of Trollope, but even I would draw the line at Phineas. Stick with Finn.

DSs like Phineas and Ferb the cartoon . Which kind of ruins the name for me
