Boys name .....Finn?

[user1470147116]

What do you guys think of the name Finn?

How popular is it really?

Is it gaining more common?

Apparently its in top 100 for 2017 but at very end (77)

My Fynn is 14 and the only one in his school. Always has been.

I really like Finn as a name. I only know two and they're teenagers.

I really like it too, I only two, one adult and one teenager.

There are literally millions of them. Well, maybe not literally...
It's an Irish name, I can't understand why it took off so spectacularly over here. It doesn't even sound particularly nice.

I like Finn as a nickname for Finnnegan or Finlay but not as a stand alone name. It just sounds like a nickname to me. Also people spell Finn in different ways, so you and the child would have to spell the name out all the time. Flynn is a good alternative to Finn.

My three month old is Finley. We'll call him Finn when older. We really like the name and didn't think it was too commonly used. I don't directly know anyone else with a Finley.

I like it a lot and I wouldn't say it was too popular. I know of 3 boys with that name, aged between about 5 and 18, not all in the same town.

Know a Finn..good name

I know several. It is a naughty boy's name. Sorry.

I know one, 7 months and totally adorable! Lovely name.

I like it, not a naughty boys name where I am but there are a few at school either Finn, or Finley, Finlay with nn Finn. Also a Flynn at nursery.

I know four young ones and one Finlay. I'm in Scotland though and there seem to be more Irish names here than in England. I don't particularly like Finn, it sounds like a nickname and reminds me of fish.

Nice, but a bit blah.
I prefer Flynn.

Love it (biased 😉). Ours has always been the only one at nursery so doesn't seem too common (we're in Scotland).

There are only two in the large school here. It's a great name - Adventure Time.

I love the name Finn! My 3 boys all have Irish names. Ryan, Kellen, Brenden.

My DS is Finn
We get lots of compliments on his name, and met a 14 year old Finn at a BBQ recently who told DS he is going to have all his teachers telling him he has a cool name!

There are lots of Finns here but then lots of jacks and Olivers too. All great names. I think some of them must be abbreviated versions of Finlay/Finley because it's definitely more popular than 77.

I don't know any. It's a lovely name.

I have a Finbar and I love it, I always have. I prefer Finn to Finley though

I know two Finns and a Finley. South east.

Age range from 10-16.

I love Finn but can't stand Flynn for some reason.

I'm not keen on Flynn either and I imagine it'll get confused with Finn. Finn's cool but it's a no from me.
Finley is nice but not as cool.

There are loads of Finns. If you add up all the Finns, Finleys, Finlays, Finnians etc it will be much higher up the charts.

I don't like it. It's like calling your child Dane or German, like a person from Finland, a Finn!

I love Finn
