Brother for Finnick?

[Elly88]

Names we like are Jacob, isaac, ewan, Jameson, Oscar but not enough lol 🙈 after something bit different like Finnick. Send help!

For the love of God, and for the kid’s sake, not Auric or Crusoe (suggested upthread).

Finnick and Lachlan

Katniss?

Auric was Goldfinger's name, wasn't it?

Thanks for the serious suggestions, safe to say its the last time I use this website. What is wrong with people being so judgmental?! Wasn't asking for opinions on my current sons name, yes it does feature in the hunger games, it also actually features in a Disney film too, either way it's a name in its own right, do your research if you want to insult someone's name! I don't really think it's that outrageous as there are so many variations of the name Finn now - Finnbar, Finnegan, Finley, Flynn, Finnian etc.
If you picked the name James I wouldn't go listing all the other characters from James and the Giant Peach. What is wrong with people?! At a time like this, amazes me that people still can't just be kind. All so brave from behind your computers yet not one person I've told my sons name to has ever said anything other than that's such a cool name I love it. Funnily enough, I don't want the whole world to be full of James and Daniels etc, not like I called him Wednesday!! Don't see the problem with giving a person a slightly more unusual name. And if he hates it he can go by Finn?! Now either get back to the task if you wish of suggesting serious names or keep on scrolling please.

Have any names caught your eye so far, @Elly88?

...not one person I've told my sons name to has ever said anything other than that's such a cool name I love it.

Well, no, people tend not to overtly say ‘why did you give him such a silly name?’ IRL to the mother who chose the name. They just think it and express their opinions to other people.

You shouldn’t ask questions online if you can’t deal with other people’s views.

That’s a great idea about James and the Giant Peach. Anyone out there with a child called James: call your next son Aunt Sponge.

‘You shouldn’t ask questions online if you can’t deal with other people’s views.’ OP didn’t ask for opinions on the name Finnick! And @Elly88 is right about people on this site so often being awful to anyone who didn’t name their children Peter and Beatrice.

I think Finnick is a great name (not that it matters!) I think it’s go well with:
Orion
Atticus
Wren
Noah
Castor
Bennett

Good luck

She asked for opinions onnames that were ‘a bit different, like Finnick’ - as if the children’s names were fashion accessories - and that’s what she got. Grow up.

Orion! Atticus! Castor! Poor kids, saddled with names like that. Do people think that giving their children strange names somehow makes them, the parents, look clever or creative? It doesn’t work.

You sound like Katie Hopkins

She never asked for opinions once - please work on your reading comprehension. You’re making yourself look silly when your intention is clearly to mock and belittle others.

I know three little ones named Atticus, it’s very popular and hardly strange! Maybe, if you spent a bit more time socialising and less time making fun of children’s names behind a screen, you’d see that people are no longer willing to be pressured into naming their children names that they don’t love because they’re scared to go against the grain.

You should try being kind to someone today, you wombat, it might cheer you up

So much outrage OP at people being mean to you.... then you say "its not like I called him Wednesday!" - so it's ok to upset parents with kids capled Wednesday then?

Yep, here we go again. Give your child an unusual name? Never! Bully a pregnant stranger over the internet? You bet!

Presumably, the people trying to belittle the OP and make her feel foolish are parents themselves. I would certainly rather be “saddled” with an unusual name than with an unhappy bully as a parent.

Orphlids that outrage would work better if the OP hadn’t slagged off some names herself...

Fletcher
Saxon

please work on your reading comprehension

Here we go. Anybody who says anything you don’t like is unable to read properly or is ‘an unhappy bully’. Or Katie Hopkins. Once more: grow up.

I suppose that your children also have strange names and you, too, hoped that you’d look clever and creative as a consequence? You really should try to be less sensitive if you’re going to post things on the internet.

@Dyrne, if she had “slagged off some names herself” would my words be any less true?

Mortimer
Montgomery
Morton
Darwin

She literally didn’t ask for opinions and you continue to argue that she did, therefore you have failed to understand what she wrote. It’s quite simple.

No, my son’s name is Top Ten so wrong again, I’m afraid!

If you’ve nothing constructive to say, don’t bother, I think we’ve derailed Elly's thread for long enough! Good luck choosing a name, OP

Yes, I agree, I hate derailing threads, especially as I don’t have any name suggestions, but I do hope the OP knows she has some support, and that not everyone is a smirking “mean girl”. Good luck and congratulations, OP, hope you find a fabulous name for your lovely new baby.

Jeezo, it’s from Hunger Games

^^ couldn't place it! Very memorable. I like Jameson from your list

Finnick Origin and Meaning

The name Finnick is a boy's name of English, Anglo-Saxon origin. ... The name is related to Fenwick, an old Anglo-Saxon place name and surname that may be loosely translated as "marshland farm." The names Fenwick and Finnick are also related to Phoenix.

A quick google will tell you this, people. And even if it so happened that it WASN’T a name until the Hunger Games, so bloody what.

OP I think it’s a fabulous name. Not that you need telling.

not one person I've told my sons name to has ever said anything other than that's such a cool name I love it.

^^ in real life people will just smile and nod. I've come across some god awful names but would never be so rude as to say. This however is an anon Internet forum. If you want to give an unusual name you just have to get a thicker skin and own it op...like your child will

@Emthebaker “Top Ten” is a bit of a weird name for a baby, tbh.

Sorry forgot to add suggestions! I love Oscar but I think something more unusual would work better with Finnick.
