I don't mind it, but it always makes me think of "fin", like what an aquatic animal has! I prefer Finley or Finnegan.

It reminds me of the guy on Glee. I really hate that show. Though I do find Finn to be one of the least annoying characters.

I like it, but only as a nickname for something a bit more substantial.

I love it. I keep going back and forth on whether it needs a full name, but I think I just like Finn.

Adorable as a nickname. I don't think it will age well as a first name though.

I love Finn, but I prefer it as a nickname, I think. Great name, though.

My son is called this so I love it. I originally wanted a longer name but couldn't find one I loved. Now I kind of wish we had gone with Torfinn or Griffin mainly because I'm not keen on 1 syllable names from a usage persepective but he is totally just a Finn and it suits him so well.

There are plenty of worse names, and I even kind of like it on someone else, but on the other hand it's not much different than naming a baby Flipper or Paw or Hoof.

I'm not keen on it as a nickname or a full name. I like Finnegan but would try to avoid Finnegan for however long possible just because I think Finnegan is great without being shortened. I had a fish named Finn when I was a kid so it reminds me of him. :)

I love it and I plan to use it. I don't think it's Hollywood trendy, I can't think of a celebrity baby named Finn, only of two or so named Flynn. It makes me think of the sea and the color green for some reason. I don't think it will ever get very common.

I've only ever come across it on pet dogs. Seriously. No joking.

I mean, it's not a bad name, just a bit trendy and a bit pet-name-like. It would work as a middle name or something, where a one-syllable name fits best. You know, a slightly less boring filler name than James or John or whatever, but still a filler name all the same.

I have loved it since I was a kid...pre-Glee, pre-popularity...and I know that sounds like every name nerd's excuse but I'm sticking to it.

I grew up with my grandfather and great-grandpa telling me the stories of Fionn MacCool. For years, my favourite spelling was Fionn and then I changed to Finn for more practical purposes.

---

I find it hard to find objective reasons for my love of it, for me it is what I connect it to but it is a good name to me- solid, has history, is connected to a great mythological hero and it reflects my cultural heritage.

If I had a son tomorrow there is no question that he'd be a Finn.

I don't like it. It's weak-sounding and also Hollywood tryndee-seeming.
