I like it.

Much much nicer than the ubiquitous Finn/Finley. They are everywhere.

GeordieCherry · 03/12/2013 08:41

Love it!

oooo I love it too Smile

I like it. For some reason I have an image if a 1940s style private detective!

The older generations may think it's linked to the swashbuckling actor Errol Flynn.

I think it's cool though

MrsBennetsEldest · 03/12/2013 08:59

It's DS 3s middle name. Means son of the red haired one so was apt. Errol did play a part in my choice though.

MrsBennetsEldest · 03/12/2013 09:00

I don't consider myself the older generation thoughShock just have a thing for old films.

MummyBeerest · 03/12/2013 09:27

Love it! Good pairing.

CarryOnDancing · 03/12/2013 09:29

I'm not a fan of Flynn, there's no specific reason though so I see it as perfectly useable. I do however love the name Errol!

natandmat · 03/12/2013 17:20

I love it!! My immediate thought is of Flynn Rider however!

MrsT2007 · 03/12/2013 18:01

Flynn is lovely. Goes well with Owen.

BananaHammocks · 03/12/2013 20:49

I like it, not usually a fan of surname type names but they usually end with 'er' or 'son', this feels different. Possibly a bit too similar to the overdone Finn but nicer!

DramaAlpaca · 03/12/2013 20:50

I like it very much & it goes well with Owen.

RedPencilPot · 03/12/2013 20:56

Flynn is ds's middle name!

Love it!

DiamondsAndRust · 04/12/2013 16:55

Very nice - not my usual 'type' of name at all but I think it's really nice. Sounds kind of dashing and modern and classic all at the same time - and a nice change from Finn. Sounds good with Owen.

RubyGrace17 · 04/12/2013 17:39

I really like Flynn. A friend of my DHs has a toddler called Flynn and he's just gorgeous :)

It's lovely, goes great with Owen.

Fantail · 05/12/2013 20:44

Very nice choice. Great sibling set!

MrsBungleScare · 05/12/2013 20:49

Love it and it goes nicely with Owen.

Shellywelly1973 · 06/12/2013 18:12

Absolutely love Flynn!

If this baby was a boy she would be a Flynn.

rockybalboa · 06/12/2013 18:16

Love it. Was on the list for DS2

squoosh · 06/12/2013 19:43

Well I know approx 385 people with this as a surname, so it's a no from me.

Also not sure how it can be described as 'classical'.

Perriwinkle9991 · 12/01/2014 12:27

My son is Flynn and we loved it for him. His name is Flynn Oliver.

I do think of Flynn rider though but go for it we call him flynny as a nickname

Skrifa · 12/01/2014 12:37

I love Flynn- DS2's middle name!
