Finn

[CheerfulYank]

Is it short for anything besides Fintan? And what are people's general thoughts on it?

Finlay and it's lovely

Lovely name. Finn is cool for a boy but cute too.

Finlay.

Doesn't seem quite as faddy as it was 5 yrs ago, but it's still a bit that way.

I prefer Fintan. Seems much classier.

Here mostly girls are called Finley, but I do like it. I think Finn is cool without being too trendy, and short and to the point, which is how I like my boy names. Is it a good brother name for Sam, or are they too different?

finnlay, finnley, finnian, finnegan, findley:

there are loads!

i love it! i wanted it for ds but our best friends named there son fynnlav so i cant have it!

It's lovely with sam. It's a really nice name that isn't used at all round here.

it's v popular round our way. but still lovely.

My grandmother, who is Finnish and very into her heritage , would enjoy it as well. Am definitely putting it on my short list!

Personally I'm not keen on Finn names. However there are several to choose from if you do like them. Finbar, Fineas, Fingal, Finlay, Findley, Finian.

Have become a bit bored with these to be honest, sorry.

I love Finlay nn Finn. Very cool

I love Finlay or Finn

Finn names are really rather lovely.

I agree with Hedwig. Over Finn to be honest. I feel like it's a little bit done.

No offence to those with sons called Finn!!

The best name in the whole wide world

I really loved Finn, and had it on list for DC2 ... but in the meantime have had 2 MCs and have gone off it a bit. Largely because it seems so popular - which is odd as DS is William (Billy) which is hardly rare!!

Also close friend has just called her new arrival Finlay so definitely can't do it now .

My preferred names are Finnian, Finnegan or Finley.

Sorry, really dislike it (as for Finnegan - I would really pity some poor boy with that name .)

Rag cos of Michael Finnegan... chinnegan?

I love the name Finn! DD2 was going to be Finn if she was a boy.

Prefer Fionn (fyun)

Nobody has mentioned Finbar

Don't like it but I know a Phineas (called Fin).

I have a Finbar and it rocks so there!! NAR NE NAR NE NAR! Ha!

Getting a bit overused imo....I know loads of Finnians, Finlays, Finleys, Finbars all born in the last 5 years or so. Most get called Finn.

How about Quinn?
