Re: Finlay / Finley
in reply to a message by Jacks
Finley is either an anglicization, as you said, or simply a transferred use of the surname. I know that in Scotland, when Lindsay still had usage as a male name, the Lindsay spelling was considered more male and Lindsey more female. It wasn't "correct" so to speak - just people's preferences.
