Thank you!

Oh, is Fynn the 'original'? I have only ever seen Finn!

Michael

Michael. Finn is very popular here , so although I like it I wouldn't use it.

MiniMaxi · 14/02/2017 03:11

I like Finn personally (and have only seen it spelled with and i!). It's very "now", don't know if you'd see that as a pro or a con!

John and Michael are more classic names and Johnny / Mikey are cute for a baby I think.

RuthB4 · 14/02/2017 06:29

John or Michael. I agree that Johnny and Mikey are great nicknames too. And I love Mike for an adult.
Not so keen on Finn.

Finn/Fynn

I like the name Fynn but Fynn Elliott doesn't sound as nice as Michael Elliott or Elliott Fynn!

I want to call my DS Elliott but unfortunately DH didn't like it 😞
Glad in a way or we wouldn't have come up with his name

John.

Johnny is gorgeous, and John is good, strong, classic name.

Michael is fine too, as is Finn (but very different to the other two in terms of style, and also far more popular at the moment). I prefer Flynn to Finn.

John, good solid name.

goldenrachita · 14/02/2017 14:16

Finn is a really trendy 2016 kind of name so it will date and there will be plenty around. But it will also be loved by almost everyone. Not my thing.

Michael and John are both nicely traditional. I've never liked the sound of the name Michael much, but I really love John. It's just so simple and classy, so that's my choice.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 14/02/2017 14:21

Finn

CakeRattleandRoll · 14/02/2017 14:46

Michael

AntiQuitty · 14/02/2017 14:47

John. A classic and not overused!

Mrsknackered · 14/02/2017 14:50

John's not overused because it's so dull.
I find Michael hugely boring too.
Sorry.
Love Finn/Fionn/Fynn too! (But mostly the first 2 spellings)

ILoveCheeseMoreThanYou · 14/02/2017 14:59

The lots of baby finns here too!

KlingybunFistelvase · 14/02/2017 15:31

DramaAlpaca · 14/02/2017 16:32

I like Finn best, but Michael goes better with Elliot.

I don't like John.

SoleBizzz · 14/02/2017 16:45

Finn s awful.

Sophronia · 14/02/2017 17:19

John. Michael a close second. Not keen on Finn.

ThermoScan · 14/02/2017 20:03

John,definitely .Then Michael
