Mumsnet Jury what do you think of Finn?

[stirfry]

Title says it all, and are there many about

I love, love, love it. I wanted it for DC4 (who turned out to be a girl). But then I realised it means 'end' in Spanish. We live in Spain. I was gutted.

Everyone on here is bound to say that they know hundreds as this name has been discussed many times before.

I love it but then I am biased. There was a very funny sketch recently on Harry Enfield when the posh consultant met the Queen and told her that his grandson had been named Finn.

That is my DSs name and I love it! It has a few meanings - "sunbeam" and "fair haired warrior". He is both!!

its the male version of my name and I am a lovely, well rounded induvidual
ds2 is the scottish version

I like it. Love the longer name Finbar with Finn as a nick name

great name - it was my choice for ds but someone put me off towards end of pregnancy. dh is tall and skinny. (sorry dh) and when i said was having finn for a boy they replied "well if he's any thing like his dad he will be thin" "thin finn" aaagh - teach me to tell someone in RL. I will learn next time and will only discuss names on MN.

I love it. It's on my (very short) boy's list

I love it

I adored it but my mum said it sounded like a chav. I totally disagree but then couldn't use it for fear of upsetting mum.

However, I've told myself if I have a third I am going to use it whether she likes it or not.

love it
was going to use if I ever had a son

ended up with 3 daughters instead!

I think it's lovely although prefer the name "Finlay/Findlay" shortened to Finn/Fin as opposed to giving Fin as the name on the birth certificate.

what about finlay but use finn as pet name derivative

I like it but it is very common here along with Evie and Freya for girls. When I was in my twenties all the boys seemed to be called Daniel and the girls, Jessica. There's nothing wrong with having a common name if it's one that you love.

Signed,

Proud mum of two boys with very commonly heard names.

no, he will have the theme tune from 'JAWS' sung to him every time he walks past someone at school.

like it a lot...prefer Finlay as the given name and then Finn as a nickname
