Finley

Is this a girl or boy name to you? I've seen it on both boys and girls but I was wondering what the consensus is on it. I would consider it for a boy. Thanks!

Boy.

Boy only for me...I side eye on girls. I have it on my list spelled Finlay (but both are considered correct spellings).

My first thought is boy but I can see both using it.

I prefer Finn, Phineas, or Finnian on a boy.

I'm thinking that it's unisex. I probably wouldn't use it on a boy because it sounds a bit feminine.

I prefer it for a girl but it's originally a boys name.

 Get ready to side-eye, because it's on my list for girls.

I like it for a girl. Maybe because the first one I ever met was a cute, blonde 3 year old named Finley.

I've since heard it on a boy (although I think it was with 2 ns..."Finnley"). I don't like it as much.

I don't know it's origin and I don't know any Finley's, but I say girl. It sounds like the trend Finley, Kinley, Brynley.

It is a very popular Irish male name used exclusively on boys in Ireland/UK. It would be like naming a girl Jason or Eric or something.

It's all boy to me, but I had a friend who just used Finlay for her new daughter. So I guess it can be unisex. Either way, I'd always think boy first.

Boy. NN Finn. Very cute.

I grew up with a girl named Finlay and an acquaintance just named their baby girl Finlay. So, for me, it's a girl name. I like it for a girl. I do not like it for a boy.

This is completely correct, and it is 100% boy. I hate it on girls. And for everyone that says Finlay/ey sounds feminine what about Billy? Willy? Wesley? There are many boy names that end in the -ley sound.

All of the Finley's that I know, are girl. All of the Finn's I know, are boy.

My daughter is Finley Noelle. Definitely unisex, in my opinion.

It's a boy's name.
