I like it, but it makes me think of Tangled :)
It's a bit lightweight, but not awful. I like how cheerful it sounds.
I love Flynn.
I've recently started to like it. I find it handsome and simple (in a good way). I'm not sure if I'll ever like it enough to put it on the list of names to use on a son. It would make a good middle name too.
I love Flynn.
I obviously love Finn more as it has been my number one boys name for most of life (definitely since I've been posting on these boards) and I don't see that ever changing. But if I had an SO who said "I can't get on board with Finn but I love Flynn", it would probably be my first sons name in that case. Which is weird because I'd never list Flynn among my favourite names because it's so close to Finn.
Anyway, I love it. Gentle yet strong. I get about the same vibe from it as Finn. Finn has the extra appeal to me because I grew up hearing the stories of Fionn MacCool.

I'm not a fan of it. I think it's best to leave it as a surname.
Hate it
IMO it's weak and gross
The sounds are just all wrong. Flimsy, phlegmy, flint.

I really like Flynn. It is one of my favorite F names for a boy.
I like it. It has a sort of dashing, roguish thing going on, and I thought that before my 3 year old started watching Tangled all the time. ;) (The association of which wouldn't bother me.)
