Re: Phineas and Cillian
in reply to a message by Martha
Phineas is alright, it makes me think of Around the World in 80 Days, which for me isn't a positive. I'm not sure how popular the show Phineas and Ferb is with kids these days, but if I wanted to use it, I would find out. I don't think Finn detracts. I'd call it a natural outgrowth. It works nicely with your surname.
Cillian is really lovely, though in the US I'd go for Killian, because I'm pretty strongly conditioned on the soft C and think many others are also. Admittedly Cillian also looks softer and lacks the direct KILL beginning of the K spelling. It's got a nice Celtic vibe without being so unfamiliar as to seem weird.
