Thoughts on Finnegan

beaandthebabes

So our 2 year old has called this baby boy Fish since we brought home the first sonogram picture and DH thinks Finn would be a cute nod to that. We like the name Finnegan with Finn as a nickname. We aren’t telling anyone we know any of our name options so I am looking for some thoughts.

Finn is ok but I personally don’t love it. 

I wouldn’t worry about giving a nod to the fish name thing, I think you should start with names that both parents love.

Not a fan of Finnegan. Finn is ok but seems to be getting really popular.
If you don't love it I'd keep looking.

Don't really LOVE it. Seems to be kind of used a lot for girls and boys. Its fine though but not great.

I absolutely love Finn. If my husband wasn’t against it, I wanted to name this little guy Finn. Finnegan isn’t my favorite long version of Finn. I prefer Phinneas and Finnian personally. I agree with pp that you should pick a name you both love vs trying to make your 2yo nickname happen. You guys can always call him fish as a loving nickname regardless.

Not a fan, it seems pretty trendy to me. I would stick with letting Fish be a family pet name for him and not trying to incorporate it into something he has to wear for life.
