[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?

I'm not overly keen on Finn myself, though I love Finnegan. It gives me very fishy vibes which may or may not be good to some people xD I'm not sure why I'm not keen on it, but I don't think I'd put it in the "dislike" category, though.I prefer Finley

Finn is short and sweet. I see this name cracking the top 10 in the US around 2025.

Can’t stand Finley, Finlay and I’ve even met a Finleigh but Finn is lovely. Simple and sweet. Finnegan is okay.

I absolutely love the name Finn, but all of the longer versions are not my style. I can see the appeal of Finnegan, but I don’t really like it.

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 like Finnian more than Finn, but it's ok.
