A sweet and simple name. One of my favorites. When I hear "Finn", I imagine a youthful adventurous guy who lives in his fancy treehouse somewhere in the woods. He's probably a friend to all children and animals. He is courageous and high-spirited.
Finn is one of my favorite names, it has a friendly lovable air to it, not unlike its namesake Finn the human from Adventure Time. I like Finley and Finnegan as well, which will likely be shortened to Finn if we decide on this name, and I think it would be great for a boy or a girl.
This has been a favorite name of mine for a long time, and it's largely due to Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Finn is, of course, Huck's surname, but it's much easier to live with as a name than Huck! (And people who keep trying to get the novel banned from schools on the grounds of language miss the point entirely and ensure the novel is still relevant nearly a century and a half later.) Finn goes with just about anything as a middle name, and I don't think it's *too* popular in the U.S. yet (though it is hugely popular in Ireland, I see).
When parents-to-be tell me they’re going to name their son Finn, I’m always torn between smiling politely and pretending like I’m not screaming inside my head about what a fad, “trying too hard to be cool” name I think it is, like Jet or Blaze. And making a joke, “dorsal or pectoral?”.

I think Finn would be okay for a girl as much as a boy, if it’s paired with a feminine middle name. I can picture a sweet girly girl or a tomboy with this name. I love this name for either gender, but I still think it’s better for a boy.

Finn is so cute and carefree. Shame it's becoming so common.
My name is Finn, and I like it very much! It does make me think of fish at times, but overall I think it is a fantastic name!Another spelling for Finn is Fynn.
I think it's so cute, and maybe I like it more because I'm such a huge Adventure Time fan. If I ever have a son I would definitely consider naming him this!
The only Finn I've ever known was a female. I remember everyone thinking it was an odd name, but she had long blonde hair and it seemed to fit her. I'm not a big fan of it, though. It sounds a bit fishy.
I like it, but there was a park in my hometown called Finn Cassidy, and it was named after a dude that looked like a hobo. So everytime I hear the name Finn, I think of hobo dude.
