Is Finn ok on its own? Or is it too nicknamey like Ben/Tom/Sam etc..?

Sorry for all the posts, my best friend and I are both pregnant with boys and it's all we've talked about today!!

Love it. Do it. Gorgeous.

But then I like Sam and Tom too. (though in those cases I name thomas and maybe Samuel)

Hide this thread now. {grin]

I think it is fine - but then it was my name of choice for ds2 (not the name he actually ended up with as EVERYONE I knew, including H, said "Finn" with such complete disbelief when I mentioned it)

Thanks people. I'm (or should I say we're) considering Fintan and Finlay too as a birth certificate name but to always be known as Finn.

Oooh, decisions decisions!

Freddie
Finn
Theo

Hmmm.

Finn much nicer than the others.

S1ur · 27/05/2008 01:05

All good. Finn best.

bluewolf · 27/05/2008 01:09

There's Finbar aswell I think - all very lovely

mananny · 27/05/2008 03:33

My nephew is Finn. And he is delicious.

Cecy · 27/05/2008 03:48

It's a bit fishy

DonutMum · 27/05/2008 08:44

Hiya, my DS2 is Findlay (scottish spelling) - Finn for short. It's lovely. Of course. My next one is Logan, due in July. Finn has a lovely meeting too - it means "fair warrior" in gaelic. I like names that mean something. Logan is "little cove" which I think of as a safe harbour.

InigoMontoya · 27/05/2008 08:45

Most excellent name.

spook · 27/05/2008 08:46

Hi spareparts. I have a Finn and he is luscious!
Go for it!!

JulesJules · 27/05/2008 08:50

Love Finn, and Theo.

Amandella · 27/05/2008 09:32

Really like it!

LynetteScavo · 27/05/2008 09:34

How about Finlo or Ffinlo? Apparently it's an old Manx name.. Or should I stick with Fintan or Finlay?

waaaaa, go 'way. My ds (age 5) is finn and it's becoming too popular now. Freddie or Theo sound good

dizzydixies · 27/05/2008 23:09

I like it but I also like Fionn which is the celtic version but pn the same

Lol, Finn is just so damn cool/cute/handsome though!! It must be annoying watching your son's name become more popular, as I guess it was quite unusual when you named him!
