Call me old-fashioned but I think Finnegan is a dumb name for a girl. If you're going after James Joyce book titles why not call her Ulysses? Or Dubliner? Or for a once removed, how about Odysseus? Come to think of it, why stop there? How about Nantucket? Narragansett has a nice ring to it. I know: Ichabod! That's the best name yet for a baby girl! /s That said, I did like the dresses Jill and Finnegan Biden wore to King Charles III's coronation.
Of Finn, Finley or Finnegan, I like Finnegan for a boy the best, which will most likely be shortened to Finn anyway. Finnegan sounds very charming and strong and I like how it has rich history and roots in Ireland. Also have always liked Seamus Finnegan from Harry Potter with his proclivity for pyrotechnics.
I choose the name Finnigan when I was pregnant (2011) and when he was born I thought it was perfect. He has red hair and blue eyes. I love Irish names.
I love the name Finnegan on a girl, especially with a very girly girly middle name like Julina. I think girls with boy names look better in girly clothing instead of tomboyish clothing even at age one. A picture with a girl in an ultra-girl outfit who's so girly girlish with a masculine name like Mason makes things interesting, just like a edgy, tranny tomboyish girl with a feminine name like Olivia. And those two girls are hanging out together and you see them walk by, you’re thinking to yourself, “those two should swap names!” No, No, No! It’s really interesting. I like Finnegan for a boy too. It’s cute for either gender.

I love the name Finnegan. I have a nephew named Fynnegan. We call him Fynn often. We are an Irish family. Finnegan is a very Irish name! I didn’t like it at first because of the Old Man Michael Finnegan song. But it suits my nephew so well & now I love it!
I really like this name and would totally use it for a character or son, with the nickname "Finn". It brings to mind Gilligan's Island for some reason.
It's my son's name actually! His full name is Finnegan Argent Cloud, and his nickname is Finn. We chose it due to the large amount of Irish from both sides if our family, and simply because it's a name I've always really liked.
I love this name but I prefer it for a girl! It's currently at the top of my list and I'd love to use it for a future daughter of mine. Joe Biden has a granddaughter named Finnegan.

LOL I see a short, stout, red-headed Irish man with whiskers and bright, twinkling blue green eyes and a wide smile! Not something I would name my kid, though :)
I love this name and the nickname 'Finn', but since I'm not Irish, I'd never use it. Imagine how silly this would sound paired with an Italian or Spanish last name.
This is a great name, and I like the nickname Finn. The name sounds quite sophisticated and mature, and old-fashioned in a charming way. It also sounds like the name of a nice and fairly attractive guy, ha ha.
I love the name. My sister's friend is named Finnegan, but she's a girl. I definitely don't advocate this as a feminine name, but I do like her nickname - Finney.
