Finnegan? Love it or hate it?

Kristin MacKenzie · December 2008

My DH is Irish/Scottish and our last name is very Scottish. I have fallen in love with Finnegan, nickname Finn, but DH is not so sure. It seems like the name is gaining popularity lately. I keep hearing it. Do you like the name, and do you know any other kids with this name?

If you scroll down this page and the next, there are two or three other posts also asking about names with the nn Finn. I think it may not be a common name right now, but by the time your little guy starts kindergarten I suspect there will be a lot of Finns. It's a nice name though.

I was just about to say this...

I like it

My son is Finlay, we call him Finn, and I know 2 other Finn's and one is Finnegan. I am biased, so of course I love Finn, but I also don't want it to get too popular!

I like Finnegan, it was one of our choices but we decided to go with Finlay instead. I randomly call my son Finnegan Beginagain for some reason though when I talk to him!

Finnegan is trying to hard. Just go with Finn. It's cute. My friend just had a baby boy named Finn.

I like the name/nn Finn but Finnegan isn't really my style. Finn is really cute, though.

I haven't heard the name around where I live yet.

I do not care for it but I do like Finn as a stand alone..

It reminds me of an anti-nausea medicine. It's called Phinegran or something.

jmarieg05 · December 2008

What about Fenmore? And call him Fen for short?

Miss Pineapple · December 2008

I like both, Finn and Finnegan. I have an English cousin named Finbar and we call him Fin. His mother (my aunt) is Welsh and Finbar is a traditional Welsh name. Their daughters name is Sian. Go with it, if you like it that is all that matters. Big Smile

I like it.

KarlsSweetie05 · December 2008

mgmccauley · December 2008

I like Finnegan a lot!

DebbieMc · December 2008

Love it!

Emie28 · December 2008

Love it and I hate that it's becoming so popular.

tyarbrough · December 2008

All I can think of is Phenergan, the medicine. I don't like it! Sorry

I love it... but then again, my DS's name is Griffin (we don't call him Finn though... just Griffy and Griff or Griffin).

We are considering Finley for a middle name for one of our twins.

DH has some "Finbar" family members - which is a little too out there for me- but Finnegan and Finley I like a lot. I am not a fan of Finnian, which someone posted about recently.

I like Finn or Flynn. But not Finnegan. That said, choose what YOU and your DH like. It doesn't matter what we think. Not a lot of people love the MN we like.

jaredswife · December 2008

love it! I dont know anyone with that name, but really like it.

AlmostDunn · December 2008

I love Finnegan and Finn. It was on our list for a while.

mm1569 · December 2008

Love the name Finn! I named one of my former foster puppies Finn.

GettinNervous · December 2008

I don't like it. Around here, I think eyes would be rolling.

ancjph · December 2008

love it, Finn was our other choice if we had another boy. Dh is irish so we went with two irish names.

CeltiCutie · December 2008

a friend of mine's son's name is Finnegan. We sing a song where we spell his name out and everything. Most of the time he just goes by Finn, though as well.
