HelpFinn (m)
in reply to a message by Danno
It has a lot of personal and family meaning to me and has been the name for basically as long as I can remember. I would prefer to spell it Fionn but that would only create trouble in Australia or the US (if I stay here permanently).
I would let my partner name a daughter Taelyn or something equally horrific if it meant I got Finn for a son.

I'm a fan of Finn as well (: A very handsome yet adorable name. I love it as a standalone. I understand where you're coming from since I pretty much feel the same way towards "Cole" Like I absolutely want to use it, NEED to use it, hahaha. Though I've been seriously considering having only one child soooo if a boy... :D
All the naming ends there with just 1.

Yeah, I hope with everything I have that I don't just have one! Fionn is a standalone name. One of the reasons I love it is because my Granda (great-grandfather) and Papa (grandfather) who I lived with for my whole childhood used to tell me the stories of Fionn MacCool as bedtime stories, as well as other Irish legends. But Fionn MacCool was the greatest. :) I don't like Finnian or Finley and I can tolerate Fionnbharr but it's not the same.

I used to feel the same way. I couldn't imagine having only 1 kid, no way, no how but oddly enough, my strong-headed preference changed. I mean I wouldn't mind dealing with 2 but having just 1 would be more ideal and realistic for me, I guess. Like the whole "one and done" method.
I'm unfamiliar with Fionn MacCool but sentimental feelings towards a name is always endearing.

That is about the most meaningful statement of love for a name that I have ever heard.

It's actually true. Maybe not like Gaylord or something...I would think about my other hypothetical child's wellbeing- but I think people can live with a name like Taelyn and I'd get used to it, adjust, and love my kid anyway. But I really think I'd always feel a sense of loss calling a son anything else. I love other male names but it's the only name with a story for me and I love it so wholeheartedly. We'll see. Hopefully it won't come to that ;) But I am one for compromise and if that's what needs to be done for it to be a compromise, then so be it.

To be honest, I love Finn, as well as Taelyn. I think they make a great set!
