I think this is a good name for boys because it sounds masculine. I'm shocked Americans are using for girls. In Europe this would not happen.

It's a boy's name. It has always been a boy's name. Although it's a masculine name (meaning fair haired warrior) I can see how the meaning could suit many little girls these days too. Who is anyone to judge. Finley as a first name is not a new thing. It has always been a first name as well as a surname - like 'Scott, Ross and Russell.'

The usage of this name is mostly second names and hardly first.
