Help[Opinions] Re: Finn and Oisin
in reply to a message by HailCthulhu
Finn seems to me like one of those short cute glib piratey names... Finn, Flynn, Wynn, Dex, Rex, Jax, Jett, Ace, Cash, Nash, Dash. Not my thing in general, and I admit to being slightly annoyed by it. But that could be because I've never met one. I think I'd get used to using it pretty easily. It's a little better than Finley IMO, and it is substantial enough to be a first name.
Oisin I've always thought was aw-SHEEN. Oh- pronunciation is too much like an O'Surname, and like the word Ocean for me. I'd rather just see Ocean used as a name. Either way, though, the aw-SHEE... or oh-SHEE.. part reminds me very immediately of "aw/oh, sh**" and that would make me avoid using the name. It's shallow, but I think it would bother me and not stop bothering me. Cool name for an Irish guy, not so cool for a son of mine.
