What do you think of Finch?

[zoeaevans]

What do you think of Finch as a boy's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.
my sons name he's twelve and still hasn't changed (hidden) it, was it o good idea? I was abroad when I named him and thought I could get away with it being so deeply foreign myself.

I quite like it

Seriously?

He's had it for 12 years, nothing wrong with it.

Would'nt pick it myself.

Well if he's 12 and he likes it it's fine.

I admit though if my 11 year old brought home a friend and said "Mum this is Finch" I would find it odd.

Have you seen American Pie.....!!!!!????

I quite like it :)

cruel

Have you seen American Pie.....!!!!!????

That wasn't made 12 years ago tho, and it'll be forgotten about soon enough, definitely not the first thing I thought of

^Yes American Pie, I thought it sounded familiar

I like it too.

I'd assume it was a surname/nickname, but as it's been your sons name for 12 years I'm sure he does like it :)

I think I'd have the same reaction to the person who pondered meeting him as your DCs friend.
It is odd, but then I am very traditional ,mutters about strange new names>

I like it

i would like it but it makes me think of American Pie and also The Office.

I don't like it at all. It sounds like a 70s tv detective,but why are you worrying about it now, if your son is happy with his name?

Aw, why are you worrying about it after 12 years?

I think it a good character type name, and he will always stand out and be remembered by those he meets. He can always change it himself when he's older if he hates it!

I don't like it at all tbh but my opinion is hardly relevant nor anybody else's, surely? :)

Definitely made me think mmmm Stiffler's Mum...

But if he likes it, why on earth worry?

Makes me think of Atticus Finch who is a hero of mine.

It's a nice name.
