Honest Opinions on the name Finnick?

Hi! We are 21 Weeks with our first born son and have settled on the name Finnick. We were originally looking at Finnigan but much preferred Finnick. Really not keen on Finley and wouldn’t mind if it was shortened to Finn but want more than just Finn as his name. I know it’s a character in hunger games and we wanted a name that is really unique for him without being too weird - short backstory I went to school with a girl with the same first and last name as me and she was popular so I was deamed “unpopular xxxx” which wasn’t fun so I always said I wanted a unique name but I don’t want to push it too far and it be weird. Thanks ladies - P.S hormonal preggo here so please don’t be brutal.

Oh no no no!

Yes it absolutely is ‘too weird’.

First thing everyone will think of is Finicky which isn’t nice at all, second thing is ‘naff made up name from a show’.

Also if he’s going to be Finn anyway it won’t make a difference, Finn is popular and he would still possibly be Finn X anyway? If you love Finn just go for one of those, or one of the lots of lovely less used F names if you want a rarer name. I like Fintan a lot, Felix, Finnegan, Ferdinand (Ferdy), Fraser, Fenwick (Fennick, Fenn).

It’s a made-up name from The Hunger Games. Please don’t do it - it’s like calling your baby Frodo or Danaerys.

I’ve heard a few mentions of Finbar. I’m sure this is just me but the name is forever tainted by VIZ: Finbar Saunders and his double entendres!

Awful. Finicky
