Phineas

I'm way overthinking, I'm not even pregnant yet, but I've just discovered that my great-grandad was called Phineas, and I rather like it.

Is it ridiculous?

If it's twins you could call the other Ferb! Lol

I like it but the problem is that it will probably be shortened to Finn/Phinn, of which there are too many already imo.

Depends on the context. A Phineas skiing in Austria sounds like an interesting character; a Phineas down the local pub? Not so sure...

Love PhineasSmile

No one will believe it is not after the cartoon Im afraid.

People still says " as in friends" about dd1's name and actually she is named after " The Catcher in the rye"

I'm sorry, but sounds like a medical condition.

I've never heard of the cartoon. I'll have to investigate, when the time comes.

Mixed responses, then. Better than all-out horror.

Thanks, everyone.

Makes me think of Phineas Gage had an iron rod through his head, learnt a lot about brain damage from him though

PorkChopSter · 17/09/2011 20:42

I like it.
