Can't decide between these three, so I'm asking on here.

merrymelody · 13/10/2021 23:59

William or Finn. Not keen on Henry.

DramaAlpaca · 13/10/2021 23:59

My favourite of the three is Finn.

Henry

PurplePizzaCake · 14/10/2021 06:36

All great names. Henry is my favourite

PanicBuyingSprouts · 14/10/2021 06:46

DS knows so many Wills/Williams that they've started addressing one another by their family names as otherwise it's hard for anyone in the year to keep track. Will S for example won't work as there'll be about 3 Will S's in the year.

It's the same with Oliver.

It might be a peculiarity to where we live though, there seems to be a serious lack of variety with boys names especially.

Henry is lovely

A Finn is a person from Finland 🇫🇮

William contains Willi.

sunnyhoneybumblebee · 14/10/2021 07:56

My son is Henry

Also really like Finn but that's my dogs name xx

CampagVelocet · 14/10/2021 07:59

They're all lovely names but I would say Finn is likely to date more, whereas Henry and William are timeless.

VanillaAndOrange · 14/10/2021 10:19

I like all three, but I think I'd go with Finn as it's more unusual.

Classica · 14/10/2021 10:27

Finn or Henry.

I've never liked William.

Fivebeanchilli · 14/10/2021 10:29

I really like all of them. My ds is mid teens now but he certainly knows quite a few Finns and Wills but fewer Henrys. I honestly don't think you can go wrong though.

Blueberry40 · 14/10/2021 10:30

Definitely Finn

Lizlou85 · 14/10/2021 11:25

If it was me first choice is Henry and 2nd choice William. Not keen on Finn. I know a Finn who is called F for short!
At least with William he can decide when older if he want to be Will, William, Bill.
