Thoughts on the name Finch?

[Lilacbluewaters]

Would probably give him a nickname of Finney

Only if you are naming a pet canary or, a a push, a big boofy tomcat.

Just No.

Not keen. Finney is marginally worse than Finch but I don't get this actively choosing a nickname thing as the usually evolve themselves.

Once you realize that Finney sounds a bit like an Australian person saying "Fanny", it's hard to unhear. Sorry.

Finchy from the office.

Albert Finney.

Finn is a perfectly acceptable name .

Beat me to it.

not Atticus!!

Finney is atrocious. Way too close to fanny.

Finch is bad but at least doesn't sound like slang for genitals.

What's wrong with Finn?

I agree with this! You could even name him Finley and call him Finn / Finney?

I'm aware of a kid called Finch and everyone was always commenting on the name. Not very positively I'm afraid. It's still better than Finney but I would think American Pie too.

Also thought of The Office as soon as I read your OP.

Agreed

Small, pretty bird, or a surname.

Don't do it to the poor boy.

Finch is awful.
Finney is unforgivable!

Finney Haddock. 😥.

Call him Finton or Finley then. Finch 🤣

Do you really want to be known as Finch’s Mum????

Oh no can’t stand that name!!

Made me immediately think of American Pie and Stiffler's mum 😂

I don't see why not. Everyone seems to like Wren. Pigeon might be a step too far

Hmmm the chances are fairly high that someone at school would call him a Tit.

Why not just use Finley, Finlay or Finn. You can still use the nickname Finney.

Has the OP saying Atticus is pretentious scared you off that?! I think she'd be equally damming about Finch...

I think you're better off with Finlay. Or Atticus.

It sounds very harsh and unpleasant to my ears when said out loud. And Chris Finch from The Office was a wanker.

Just go with Finn.

Sounds like yet another surname for a first name. Fine if it has special family connections
