Boys named Finn

[Panda368]

I'm having a disagreement with boyfriend about how common the name Finn actually is - he seems to think it is really common and this is a reason to discount it.

This is the only name both of us quite like other than Leo which we can't use as it would sound a bit ridiculous paired with very near aged cousin Theo. (also too many Leo's about I think)

How many Finns do you know? I've met 2 in my life ever. Are there really loads of Baby Finns being popped out in 2018?

Any other boy name suggestions welcome, surname isn't 100% settled but will begin with either V or A.

I know 2 Finns - one aged 50, one 19, both in Germany

It's a great name.
I have 4 boys, all with 1 syllable names - v good for shouting in a Big Scary Voice when required

I have one! Know of a few others dotted about but I wouldn’t say it’s overused like Archie/Alfie/Teddy etc

i know tonnes of them aged 16 and under, we're in the NW.

Just seen further question - we are SE. There’s one other in his school (who is a shit, as is mine at home but he’s angelic in public ). Mine was born mid 2000s.

I know two. One is 5 and the other 8 months.

Finn, Finlay and Leo are still very popular/common. Lots in nursery.

Loads

It seems pretty popular to me as I know two the same age as my toddler son... But I think it is a lovely name!

I know one Finn who is 15. Finn is in the top 100 names for both England and Wales & Scotland but nowhere near the top 10. Finn was 25th in Scotland. See graph (scroll down)

I have a Findlay. He is 13 - we are Scottish. When we named him we fully expected to shorten his name and call him Fin, but he really is a Findlay - although his friends call him Fin now.

I have a 14 year old Finn and he is the only one I have ever met.

Oh, we’re in East Anglia.

Our rabbit is Finn

I know two human boys, plus my own dear dog x

Pink
My 'Finlay'
was very blonde for a while when he was younger as was his sister
He is 15 now and dark haired as she is as well

I'm in Ireland and I know quite a few children named Finn, but no adults. Although I do know many adults named Fionn, Fintan and Finbarr. I like the name, all the versions of it.

There is a Finnion, Finn, Finley and Finlay in my DS's reception year (2 class entry). They are all known as Finn/Fin. All lovely boys. We're in Herts. I think it's a fab name.

I know one Finn, aged 14, Scotland. To my mind Finn and Finlay/Finley are different names, not sure if that's a Scottish thing or not.

Finlay I like

Finley is very American, chavtastic.

I know one Finn age 4

Finn was ranked 100th in 2016 with 650 boys being given the name.

For comparison, that means that

Bobby
Ezra
Leon
Roman
Jesse
Aaron
Ibrahim
Liam
Jasper
and Felix

were all around the same place but slightly MORE popular.

Leo was ranked 13th in the same year, with 3563 boys given the name.

Only know one Finlay who's 3, I think Finn is a lovely name and it's definitely not as popular as Leo.

My Finley is 3. London.

Finn is currently ranked as 261st out of baby names in England and Wales.
