I really like Flynn, not sure on the others but Solomon is also quite cool.

pointydog · 09/03/2009 19:30

Prefer Finn

Finlay's ok

bristols · 09/03/2009 19:34

Zach and Solomon both feature in my DS's names

ja9 · 09/03/2009 19:38

Soloman always reminds me of the big guy in the hand that rocks the cradle... having said that i 've taught a Sol and thought it was a very cool name.

zach was on our short list for dd but we decided on Finn. I think Finn is similar to, but nicer, than both Finlay and Flynn...

Flynn is lovely and will be the name if DS2 if we ever get round to having another one!

LoveBuckets · 09/03/2009 19:58

Solomon is much more exciting and Sol is a cool nickname.

LaDiDaDi · 09/03/2009 20:00

I like them all, none are duds imo but I like Solomon most.

Knax · 09/03/2009 20:37

Prefer Finn too

basementbear · 09/03/2009 20:39

The only one I'd choose is Solomon, the rest are pretty popular - at least around here!

yama · 09/03/2009 20:39

Another vote for Finn. Not keen on Flynn or Finlay. Possibly a bit weak?

Love Zachary and Solomon.

dragonbutter · 09/03/2009 20:44

I have a sol. it's a great name.
i like zachary too but not flynn or finlay.
if you have similar taste to me you might also like nelson and seymour.
but you might not

I like Flynn and Saul over Solomon

lizmcfizz · 09/03/2009 23:33

Saul - it's cool

Welshygirl · 10/03/2009 09:41

Thanks for opinions my only problem with Finn is that it makes me think of a fish 'fin'. My faves from that list are probably Zachary and Solomon (love Flynn too but other half not keen) although not sure if Solomon a bit too biblical.

Zachary - I like this one. Also like Gregory and Malachy and Toby, and I like Barnaby but wouldn't use it myself.
Solomon - hmmm. It's a bit dramatic. I can imagine a WAG choosing this.
Flynn - seems odd to me, a sur name. I don't hate it, but I would prefer Fionn (fyun)
Finlay - Nice but too many now. Move along folks,move along. Finbar and Fintan are nice too. Fintan is a bit stronger in fact and there's only one spelling.

MsBeauregarde · 10/03/2009 09:49

ps, I love Saul too.

RachieB · 11/03/2009 20:40

Zachary - like Zac
Solomon - don't like it
Flynn - love it
Finlay - love it,my fave of the list

Wilkiepedia · 11/03/2009 20:54

Think they are all lovely - very my wavelength

charlie1000 · 11/03/2009 20:55
