Finley is a nice name. Although I prefer Finn.

Ryan is okay but it was done to death in the 90s.

In 10-20 years, Finley/Finlay/Finn are going to be as dated as Ryan is now. So go with Ryan, which in a couple of decades will probably be cool again!

Finley, although I don't like it. But it's better than. Ryan negative connotations

I like Finley better but I prefer the spelling Finlay. Ryan isn't awful though!

Both have been done to death IMO, Ryan 15 years ago and Finley 10 years ago.

Not my opinion- but I've seen on here that Ryan tops the list of "naughty" names over and over again.

It sounds harsh to me, don't know why.
