Help[Opinions] Why destroy all cool boy's names?
in reply to a message by Elle
Finley means "white warrior" so obviously it is a boy's name originally.
But this is an etymological site, many people here care about origins and meanings. Most other people don't. Names are just letters and sounds.
I suspect that many will find Finleigh a great girl's name.

Well-- not sure how the word for "warrior" was gendered in the original Irish Gaelic, but I think that in the 21st century we certainly shouldn't assume that a "warrior" has to be male! :)

Yes but its an old name. Basically when it was used it would mean warrior (as in male warrior, not Xena warrior princess)
