Is this okay?

OH and I really like the name Flynn for our little one due soon, however OH has a much younger brother called Finley, sometimes called Fin.

Would it be okay having a Flynn with and uncle Finley? They obviously wouldn't be together most of the time. I'm just very aware that Flynn and Fin are very similar.

Thanks!

Too similar. Flynn's uncle Fin.

I wouldn’t worry
It’s only a tiny bit of time they will have together overall. I wouldn’t think twice about it!
Think more about school friends etc

It’s fine

It's fine.

I know a Caroline with an Auntie Carol, for example.

I have exactly the same name as my Aunty, and my name also rhymes with my mum’s. It’s never been an issue.

Fine!

It's fine and Flynn is a great name. Smile

All a bit tongue twistery for me.

supersonicginandtonic · 18/08/2020 18:27

It's fine. I'm Katherine and have a niece called Kathryn. I have a cousin called Jonathan and my dad is John.

If I had a boy I'd probably call him my brother's name TBH as I love my brother's name. It's totally fine! Fin will be honoured.

DrStrangesMagicDressingGown · 18/08/2020 20:47

It's fine
