Finn (for a girl)

[VelvetMuffins]

As a middle name, with a very feminine surname.

*forename that was supposed to say, not surname

As a middle name it won't really matter.

If you and your partner like it and it goes with the other names why not.

I'd assume she had been given a family surname as her middle name.

It's very popular in America - for a girl

My daughters name is Finley (first name) and we call her Finn all the time and she really suits it. I know a few girl Finley's/Finn's/Flynn's so it's being recognised as both male and female. More popular in America, Canada etc as female actually.
Also my niece has Munroe as her middle name 'Ava Munroe surname' Munroe I think is 'more common' for males but it is a family name and everyone loves it
If you love the name go for it :)

Oh no, it's going to go the way of Rory!

I'm sure there was a female character in Home and Away back in the 90s called Finn and I used to love the name!

Finty?

Cute

If you were having a boy, would you give him a middle name that was mostly used for girls?

I hate this trend for giving girls masculine names. It doesn't work the other way around, boys are not given feminine names. Some classic boys' names even get dismissed for being "wet". God forbid a boy should have a name that isn't manly

Yes you are correct, Irene Roberts daughter, her name is Finley Roberts and she had the nickname Finn! I was a big fan 🙈 And your right early 90s
We named our daughter Finley (not because of home and away might I add 😂) but i think the names quite feminine as the first I'd ever heard was a female

Why not Michael or John? What NameChange said.

What's a 'feminine' surname, since it's a thing to give girls masculine names?

It's not a very inspiring boys names, definitely wouldn't use it for a girl.

It's a bit depressing to think that there soon won't be any names left for boys to use as they'll all have been 'sullied' by being feminised. See threads passim on Aubrey, Rory etc. I guess then people will start making up ultra-masculine names like Block and Charge.

Re Finn as a middle name, I think it will just look like a family surname which is fine if that's the feel you're going for. It isn't a very pretty name really, and makes me think of fish and Finland/Finnish.

Probably parents who don't see girls as some sort of lower status being to compare their big strong male children to will keep the precious 'male' names going, ontop

Thanks kelly!

Only if you call her brother Susannah.

Suppose it "can" work don't particularly like it myself, I taught a girl called Bailey and the boy's used to constantly tell her you have a boy's name.

Finley/Finn seems popular for girls in North America. Just like Quinn.

I prefer both for boys personally.

I know a US girl called Finn. Suits her fine.

I like it. Other girls names I like include Mark, Richard and Gavin.

Bernard is sweetly pretty for a girl too.

Very sweet, really like it.
