We've got a shortlist for boys and girls but we're struggling to cut down any further. Need some brutal opinions about which do / don't work with Flynn!

Boys:
Leon
Noah
Lennon
Evan
Ethan
Rowan

Girls:
Lottie / Charlotte
Thea
Frankie / Frances
Phoebe
Mabel
Serena

Love Flynn, it was in my shortlist for boys had DD been a DS.

From your list my top picks would be Ethan/ Rowan and Thea/ Serena.

Your boys list is gorgeous (as is Flynn). Only one I'm not so keen on is Lennon. All would go well with Flynn but I think my favourite combination is Flynn and Evan.

I'm not a fan of Frankie and would avoid F&F anyway. Personally, I find Flynn and Thea a bit of a tongue twister and, to a lesser extent, Flynn and Phoebe. Mabel isn't really my style and is very different to Flynn. That leaves Charlotte and Serena as my favourites.

Girls:

Boys:
Leon- bit of a tongue twister with Flynn
Noah- same again
Lennon- same again🙈
Evan- gorgeous
Ethan- gorgeous again
Rowan- my personal favourite to go with Flynn

Girls:
Lottie / Charlotte- Flynn and Charlotte with Lottie for nickname
Thea- love
Frankie / Frances- love Frankie
Phoebe- works gorgeously
Mabel- not so keen
Serena- not so keen

all lovely names, just some stand out with Flynn compared to others

I like all your name ideas except for Lennon. I would choose Rowan or Evan for a boy. Noah is lovely but so much more popular than Flynn. Leon is a bit less to my taste - prefer Leo. Ethan is a little more dated than Flynn to me.

I would choose Mabel, Thea or Phoebe for a girl. Lottie / Charlotte is nice but you might end up with a Charlie in the teen years. Frankie / Frances - I prefer Frankie as short for Francesca (plus it’s nice to have different sibling initials). Serena is nice but a little more dated sounding than Flynn (to me).

I have a Fynn and a Roan both ds's..
And a Ruby..

Heavenlyhoumous · 26/05/2024 20:21

Love Evan from your boys list, also like Leon.
I like all of your girls names except Serena, don't know why, just can't picture it for a young child.

Super interesting to hear views, thanks everyone.

Front runners so far are:

  • Evan, Ethan, Rowan
  • Thea, Phoebe, Serena

I am most drawn to Evan and Thea....

I think most your boys names go well with Flynn. I like your girls names but they go less well sorry!
