So we’ve got 3 favourite names... finally 😂

Freddy
Henry
Finley

(Not in any particular order) which one is everyone’s favourite?
No nasty comments - if you don’t like any please just don’t comment as I’ve found when it comes to opinions on names people can be really mean on mumsnet 😂

Henry! :)

Aprilislonggone · 25/10/2018 12:12

We have a Freddie and a Fynn.
And a cat called Henry - so any for me!!

OliviaStabler · 25/10/2018 12:13

Freddy

Erysium · 25/10/2018 12:13

I second Henry!

SelinaMyers · 25/10/2018 12:14

Finley, I love the spelling “Fynn” PP has suggested!

Stringofpearls · 25/10/2018 12:16

I like all of your options. Freddy is my favourite but I like it best as a nickname for either Alfred or Frederick so that he has options when he's older.

E20mom · 25/10/2018 12:18

Finley by a long way. 

deptfordgirl · 25/10/2018 12:20

Henry and then Finlay

deptfordgirl · 25/10/2018 12:20

Sorry Finley

Anythingforacatslife · 25/10/2018 12:20

Henry.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 25/10/2018 12:47

Finley

Peachbubble · 25/10/2018 13:29

Love all of them, so difficult to choose my favourite, but probably Henry, but only just!

17caterpillars1mouse · 25/10/2018 13:57

Henry for sure

JosellaPlayton · 25/10/2018 14:01

Love Freddy, but prefer it if it’s short for Alfred or Federick (gives him more options as he grows up). Henry I don’t love but it’s a good, strong, solid classic. I personally can’t stand Finley.

itssquidstella · 25/10/2018 14:08

Henry. Freddie is lovely too but I'm not a fan of nicknames as full names, so I'd put Frederick (or Alfred/Wilfred) on the birth certificate. I don't like Finley at all.

bumblebee39 · 25/10/2018 14:09

Freddy or Henry.

SuperstarDJ · 25/10/2018 14:16

Henry purely because Freddie is the latest trend in my area and little Freddie’s are everywhere. Finley was also very popular too though they tend to be a little bit older now. What about Flynn?

TatianaLarina · 25/10/2018 14:21

Henry because there are so many Freddie and Finns

TatianaLarina · 25/10/2018 14:22

I like Flynn too.

MapleSpice · 25/10/2018 14:25

I hate Finley, the other two are so much better! 

HouseplantInvasion · 25/10/2018 14:29

I love Henry.
I like Freddie a lot, though I would also prefer a full name like Frederick (and less keen on the Freddy spelling personally.
Finley is ok but I know one I’m not keen on so wouldn’t use it myself.

userabcname · 25/10/2018 14:50

Henry is my favourite. Also like Freddy. Not a fan of Finley.

ellenpartridge · 25/10/2018 15:24

Henry

Shadow1234 · 25/10/2018 15:32

Freddy - so many Finleys where I am
Not keen on Henry

RedStarBlueStar · 25/10/2018 16:37

Henry. Great name.

Freddy is sweet but too babyish for a professional adult - so should be short for Alfred or Frederick. It’s also very very popular and a little boring at the moment.

Finley I just don’t like. I like Finn by itself though - it sounds far more grown up!
