Is it too popular?

Finn

I like it, want to use it, think it suits my other children's names nicely.
BUT I hate the idea of it being a popular name. There is a thread floating around with peoples top names & I am sure Finn appears on every single page in at least 2 replies.

I would hate for him to go to school in 5 years time with a herd of other boys called Finn...

How safe do you think it is to use it?

Its the only name both DH & I agree on.

I don't think Finn is too popular. It's probably gained a bit more popularity in recent years, but not so much that there will be 5 other Finns in his class at school.
It's a great name, I really like it .

I dont think so. I have never met a Finn. I think it fits nicely with the names of your other children too. Good luck hun. I think it is perfect.

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.

Fj i dont think it matters.
Finn is lovely!

When we decided on Ethan - every 2nd child i met from that point seemed to be called Ethan!!!

[Junglemum]

I don;t think it is very popular FJ. I know a Flynn but not a finn.

I would say finn-ee-an.

Ehat are you still doing preg anyway???? Come on out little man!

PMSL... He is pretty comfy in there. Will be a Nov bub for sure.

I googled & came up that its Finn ee un

I know only one Finn - he is 16 mths old. I think that sometimes you can't be "prepared" for a name to take off in popularity, it just happens (unfortunately). I love the name Jye for this DS-2-be, but it seems to be getting more and more popular, and I don't really want to go down that road!

You could go with Finley as an alternative? I know Finlay has been suggested, but I would probably pronounce the 2 a bit differently to each other...

[Mumtobe123]

I dont think its that popular. I think Isla would be more popular. I know 2 Islas but no Finns. Anyway does it really matter? It's a great name and no matter what you call him you cant garentee he will never meet another one his age. If you love it, use it.

All my kids names were in the top 100. It didn't bother me, I chose their names because I liked them and they suited them, not based on how popular or not popular they were. And to this day I have only ever met one other child with the same name as one of my kids, and it was another Harry, who is the son of a friend of a friend. There were no other Harrisons at DS's kindy or in his prep class, and we do not know any people, friends or aquaintances, who have kids named Grace or Matilda. But then even if we did, it still wouldn't bother me - even if they share their name with other children, they are still unique as individuals.

I like the name Finn - my DS went to kindy with a Finn, and that is the first time I have ever heard the name. I think its lovely.

I think Finnian is a FANTASTIC name and you could have either Finn or Iain as names for him!

Can't wait to hear what you decide!

[MusicMuma]

It wouldn't bother me one bit how popular my childs name is if i loved it!! With my 3rd we were trying to pick out of Kobi, Remy and Ella, clearly ella is far more popular than the other two but in the end it was our favourite. I also think that popularity in a name is a compliment, alot of people love it so thats a good thing to me. Finn is such a cute name, i really like it. Goodluck with your decision..

[satya]

I like the name and don't know anyone called it IRL. Use it.

[westy]

I think Finn is a great name and don't think you should worry about how popular the name might be now or in the future....if it's a name that you really like then why should it matter.

Goodluck , deciding on your lil man's name
