    You could use it as a nickname for Finnian or Finlay.

    It isn't common on adults, but it is common in this generation.

    LOL I was just saying this to DH about Finnian as he really likes Ian & I don't. Said if we used Finnian, he could pick for himself what he would like to be known as as an adult LOL


    Not 100% on how you say Finnian though?.....

    I would think Fin-ee-un, if that makes sense. That's just my guess.

    I think it is fairly popular.
    Having said that, it's not like every other kid will have that name, KWIM? I think it's safe for you to use.
    There were 5 Amys (of varying spellings) in my year at school. Never bothered me... (One of them is still my best mate )

    FJ, did you check the BDM website for the most common names for the last 10 years? It has the top 100 names on there. What I always did was make sure I read all the local birth announcements to see what they were all calling their bubs LOL and then made sure we didn't use it.

    BIL really wanted Finlay as his son's name but his wife put her foot down....Nephews name is Oliver or Ollie as they call him.

    I think Finn is a rather grand name for the young chap
