If I were to just see the name Finley Koch, I would assume it's a boy. If that's okay with you, then go for it.

I don't like Finley for a girl. It's an all-boy name to me, although I can kind of see why people like it for a girl since it fits into the unisex -ley names out there at the moment (Ashley, Harley etc.)I think Chloe Koch together sounds a bit strange, but it's nice to use your Mum's name so it's not a big deal.

I don't like it at all. Sorry. Finley is all boy to me. It just feels like everybody who wants to choose a not so common name for their daughter choose a masculine name nowadays as if there weren't thousands of wonderful and unusual feminine names to choose from. :( It's a trend that makes me a little sad.
I don't really like the combo either though I like the sound of Chloe Koch. I wish you would have chosen another first name.

I don't care for Finley for a girl. It sounds very masculine to me. I also don't like the way FinLEY ChlOE flows (too repetitive and singsongy). Sorry.

I don't like Finley for a girl at all, it's only a boys name where I live.

I don't mind Finley for a girl. I like Chloe. But not the two names together. Something is just a bit 'off' about the combo. And the full name sounds very clunky. What about your mum's middle name? Would that make it flow better? Sorry, I don't have any better suggestions at this time.

I don't personally like Finley for a girl, I don't think of it as a unisex name at all.

I find Finley for a girl very lame and flimsy. It will become stale very quickly.
