Penn or Finn?

AimeeB1980

Hi - we are naming our 2nd after my husband and he will be the 5th. We'd like to call the baby a 5th nickname. We can't use Quinn bc my nephew is named Quinn! We like Finn a lot (means 5 in old Irish and Yiddish) but our daughter is named Winnie so we were worried that's too close. Another option is Penn. thoughts? Thanks everyone!!!!

Love Penn. It's legit and underused.

Finn and Penn are both too close to Winnie in my opinion. What about Quentin?

I actually know a set of twins named Penn and Quinn. I love both! Penn is the least matchy with Winnie.

Other roots for the word five include cinc/cinco, pente, vici, hamsa... There are some beautiful Native American words that mean five too, all could serve as great inspiration for other names. Google search numbers in other languages and there are huge lists by region
