Flynn?
I am having a nightmare this time round. My husband is British so the name has to sound good in English and I am French so it needs to be properly pronounced here.
I have gone through 4 books and there's no name I really like.
Well I really liked Finn and so does DP but I have made the mistake of telling people about it and everybody hates it in France as it sounds too feminine.
So what about Flynn?

I prefer Finn too but in French Finn is fine so it's not very masculine. I don't care so much but my family tells me it's a no-no. It's a bit rich considering the name they gave me (very unusual name that I have to spell every single time and that nobody has every heard before).

It could be pronouced like in English which is like "fine" in French or "Fain" (don't really know how to spell it as the sound doesn't exist in English) which also mean fine but in the masculine gender or means "hunger" or "The end". "Fain" doesn't work here.
