Is Finn OK as a full name?

Or does he need something longer? It's really playing on my mind!

The other twin will be George so will only have one syllable too. I think he would definitely need a longer name if the other twin was Alexander for example..

Throw me your favourite Finn names please so DH and I go through them.

Thanks

Is Fintan too way out to go with George?

I love Finn just on its own. I'm not really a fan of Finley and think it sounds great as it is. I also love George! Great choices!

Finlo

MarthaFarquhar · 13/01/2010 15:09

Finn is a proper name in its own right.

randomimposter · 13/01/2010 15:11

Am in the same dilemma
Not wild on Finley/Finlay...
Like Finnian. Not sure about Finnegan.

LOVE George btw also. Hadn't thought that George and Finn "went" but maybe they do

See I think that Finn is ok on its own too. I was just responding to some comments made on here an another board.

I do really like Finlay but I know of one on my road and we prefer just Finn. I don't like Finley. Finnian is nice but not Michael Finnegan.

Never heard of Finlo before, it could be a grower!

Nothing wrong with Finn on its own at all.

Thanks, am relieved to hear that most of you think it's ok.

My dgs is Finn James.I love the name Finn and William is a grand middle name.

I wanted just Finn for DS3, but DH wanted him to have a "proper" name, and our other 2 have 2 syllable names, so we eventually settled on Finian Isaac, but he is known to most as Finn (to his brothers he is known as Foof )

itstwins · 13/01/2010 23:39

Thanks pooexplosions (love the name). Do you wished you'd gone for just Finn?

Finn is enough (and personally think is much nicer than the convoluted versions!!

hana · 13/01/2010 23:56

i lurve finn, would have been our boys name. but had girls

pooexplosions · 14/01/2010 00:01

I did, but now I don't, a) because he seems to suit Finian too, b) because there are quite a few Finns about (it seems to be big this year, near me anyway). I like that he can choose later for himself what he likes, and I have never met another Finian.

HappyBump · 14/01/2010 04:01

Ha- I've just seen your thread! Thanks for your comments on my names George and Finn are both great names.

I hadn't thought of it before but I really like the suggestion of Phineas. If you want the abbreviation to Finn though then I would think that a Finian, Finley, Findlay, Finlay or Finbar.

Have you considered Flynn?

SomeWhereOverTheRainbow4 · 14/01/2010 17:59

I think Finn is a Gorgeous name! I love them both to be honest, but I definately don't think it's too short!

Oh sorry just read your post, I only skim read it at first and thought you were deciding between the two names. I think they go beautifully together! x
