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

William Henry, perfect boys name.

[quote TakeYourFinalPosition]@fiddlestick124 I think it was the fourth most popular name for boys last year? It was definitely well in the top ten, it’s been on our shortlist but it’s far too popular, I think. Sadly![/quote]
It was 76 this year and quite similar the year before! Finley (or Finlay) was 16.

Here's a list for 2020

We have a Finn and it's a beautiful name Smile

Mumsnet makes me laugh. ALL of these names are popular.

I think they are all lovely names OP. My personal order of choice would be:
Finn
William
Henry

We have a Henry and our surname wouldn’t support a William (though I do like the name). Funnily enough the only Finn I know is DD’s GNB friend who has changed their name from something very feminine.

They are all perfectly fine.
In order of preference:

Finn
William
Henry

Henry, then William then Finn. I don’t dislike Finn but it has a very different feel to William or Henry.

Maybe go for the original full name, Fionn, pronounced fin. My cousin, who's Irish, but married in England said loads of Irish names like Tadhg are pretty popular where he lives even with people who have no Irish connection

I have a Finlay(18) very few have that name where we live.
He is generally called Fin by friends and family. The other names are lovely as well!

Enough4me · 26/10/2021 17:09

William Henry
Or Henry William

All three are lovely!

My son is named Finn. I love it, of course I'm biased ;)
