Finch

What are your thoughts on the name Finch for a boy?

I don’t like it. Sounds like pinch.

Dire.

JUDGE finch XXX
DOCTOR finch XXX
teacher FINCH

If you want to aim low go for it.

I like it.
My school friend was named finch.
He was a lovely sweet boy.

like a bird
not a name

Immediately thought of the guy in American Pie that screwed stifflers mom 😂 it's a surname to me
Cute nn but dunno about a first name

Wanky.

No

Awful

Immediate connotation for me is 'Shitbreak' from American Pie. I'm sure that'll be a generational thing, but just my 2 penneth!

It's awful. It sounds like a hard drinking, worn out 70s TV detective to me.

No! No! No!

Quite like it for a little boy and as he grows up, everyone will assume it's his surname.

If you're ok with that it's ok.

30 are you suggesting being a teacher is ‘aiming low’

Finch isn’t good, sorry.

I like it but it makes me think of Finch in Person of Interest.

Dreadful

Sounds like a guy who would shank you in prison

I rather like it. It's a name that shouts To Kill A Mockingbird to me - like Atticus, Jem, etc. It's the surname of the family. The smallness of the bird might put me off for a boy, though.

It makes me think of To Kill a Mockingbird, which is a good association, but Atticus is a much better name if that's the link you're after. Alternatively, Charles Darwin was a world expert on finches. It was studying finches that led him to formulate the theory of evolution, I believe. Darwin would be a good name.

I considered it myself but DH just thought of Finch from The Office, who was awful.

Small, twittery and fluttery...

American pie springs to mind 😂

finch nooo
how about Finn instead

How about Great Tit?

Finchyyyyyyyyy. The Office.

American Pie
