Finn McCool, a classic hero in Irish legend and mythology. Originally spelled Fion, in Irish it means "Fair, white". "Fion" is phonetically spoken as, "Finn", and Finn is the Anglicanized spelling for the name.

Winona Ryder played a girl named Finn in the movie How to Make an American Quilt. In the movie, it was assumed she was named Finn because her mother had been a hippy. When she meets a guy at a local pool, he asks her name, to which he does a double-take. She then says, "Finn, like a fish?" Then he understands. I think this name is SO cute on a boy, and even though I love that movie, I still cannot imagine the name for a girl. At least for me, it's a masculine name all the way.

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.

Finn is a character from the cartoon show "Adventure Time." My favorite quote of his: "When I look at you, my brain goes all stupid, and I just wanna hug you and sit on the couch and play Beemo with you."

I like Fynn a lot better but this is still cute. Finn seems like a little boy's name and I cannot see this on an adult or teen.

Weirdly, I've met multiple people who have chosen this name for a child because they like Neil Finn. I was looking recently at the top names of my birth year and Finn is a top 100 name, I can only imagine that is why. Cool guy to be named after.

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).

Gender: Masculine
Usage: Irish Mythology, Irish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, English, Popular Culture
Pronounced: FIN (English, Danish)
Meaning:.Though an older Irish form of FIONN, it is also the usual Anglicized spelling of the name which is derived from the Old Norse name Finnr, which meant "Sámi, person from Finland". As a surname, it was used by Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, a character from Mark Twain's renowned novels such as 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' and 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'. However in Popular Culture, this is the name of one of the main characters from the Star Wars sequel trilogy who was once a stormtrooper played by John Boyega.

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.

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.
