Finn?

Expecting our first boy very soon, and we have really struggled with a name. DH and I both have other names we prefer, but neither likes the other's name, and Finn, while not being first choice for either of us, is the only one we can agree on. But we are still not 100%!

My concern is that it is a bit short - i only like it as a name in its own right, but will people always think it's short for something else? DH has a short name and doesn't think this is a problem. He thinks it's a little too popular (although we don't know any other Finns and only one Finley) and there'll be loads in his class. I have a really common name and don't think it's a problem!

Any thoughts? On the name itself, or on compromising!

I know a Finnegan and a Finbar (sp?). Both lovely names, but both boys are known by their full names, not as Finn.

Finn is a wonderful name-the most popular of the longer versions is Finlay/Finley which I am less keen on.I love Finn [especially my 6 yr old dgs who is clever,sweet and gorgeous].
