How do you pronounce Finlay?

[myloveforfrazzles]

We are considering the name Finlay for our DC. We like it pronounced Fin-lee, but our family think it should be pronounced Fin-lay.

I’ve genuinely never heard fin-Lee ever. I’m Scottish but in a very Anglo city.

Fin lay, I've not noticed another way of saying it.
I am Scots but have lived all over.

I'm from NE and would say fin-lee

But bath and ba..r.th still make sense though because the "r" isn't being pronounced as an "r" it is being produced as an "ahh."

B..ahh..th.

Pronouncing finley as fin-Lay makes no sense because the "e" in finley has no way of even sounding like an "a."

Finley- Fin lee

Finlay - Fin lay

there’s no “r” in bath but many people still say insert one when they pronounce it.

I've never heard anyone call in Barth!

Fintan is quite a nice "Fin" name too op.

Fin-lee, I've never heard Fin-lay.

Fin-lay
Fin-lee is Finley

I think both spellings get pronounced Fin-leh

Fin-lay

Yorkshire - Finn Li

Thank you everyone

Fin Lay, I'd have said. As a surname in Ireland, spelled Finlay is said that way.

I’ve only ever heard it pronounced closer to the ee sound, for both spellings. I live in the south.

Definitely Fin-lee here, I only heard Fin-lay for the first time on a programme recently and thought it sounded odd!

It’s a Scottish name and it’s Fin lay, Fin lee is laughable.

Finlay.

Fin-lee I’m from the SE if that makes a difference

Finnly

Like thinly.

Never ever heard it pronounced fin-lay.

It's Scottish and it's Fin-Lay

I have a Finley. We didn’t register him for a month because we kept overthinking the spelling. DH wanted it pronounced Fin Lee so insisted on that spelling.
And then our lovely Scottish neighbour inquired after our boy Findlay It sounds lovely in her accent so I won’t be correcting her

Fin li

Fin-Lay
