[Opinions] Finn
Finn used to be my #1 favorite name for ages. It is super common here so I never seriously considered it (also because in recent years there were always a few names I liked better). But sound-wise I still think it's one of the nicest names ever.
What do you think of Finn?
Do you prefer
- just Finn
- nickname for Finley or Finlay (which spelling?)
- Finnegan?
- other?

Finn is one of my favorite masculine names, primarily because of the works of Mark Twain. (And before anybody says anything: yes, I know it's his surname. But I am not about to name my son Huckleberry. You can't play the Name Game with Huck.) It's short and sweet, but I don't think it's weak.
Right now my stock combo is Finn Gabriel, and I don't think it's changing anytime soon.
I prefer Finlay to Finnegan, which sounds comical to me ("Finn again?"). Finlay would be nice to use if the surname began with N.

I don't really like it at all.
Finn is short and sweet. I see this name cracking the top 10 in the US around 2025.
