Flynn is an adorable name for a little boy.

I love it! I think Flynn would make an awesome middle name! I would name him after that rogue Errol Flynn!

Even though not very famous, Melinda Messenger has a son called Flynn.

This is very simple. I am a writer and Flynn is the name of my hero!

I knew a little boy named Flynn once. When he told people his name they would always look at him funny, because they thought he was saying "flem".

Flynn is a great name. I think this would be sweet on a little boy. It's masculine and nice to say at the same time. And if you're a fan of Errol Flynn it's great because it's less stereotypical than Errol, not that I hold any negative views about either name.

I would really like this name if it didn't remind me of Lara Flynn Boyle, whose attitude I can't stand.

I think this is a last name that should stay a last name.

I love this name. It's a very strong sounding name (although I think I'm a bit biased since this guy I like is named Flynn. (: ). I've only known one person named Flynn, and when I heard it I thought of it as unique and original.

A good name likely belonging to someone accessible and down to earth. It's dated too, but it retains a youthful sound.

I know it's legit, but it sounds like my mom's mispronunciation of Finn.

Actor Orlando Bloom and model Miranda Kerr named their son Flynn.

Flynn Rider is the handsome prince character in the 2010 Disney animated film "Tangled", based on the fairy tale of Rapunzel. He is voiced by Zachary Levi.

As much I want myself to like this name, I just can't imagine someone wanting to name their child Flynn. It sounds almost exactly like phlegm ("flem" - that thick mucus that gets caught in your throat). That's all I hear when I say this name!

This is the name of Orlando Bloom's son.
-- Martha Gold  7/4/2011
I can only think of Flynn as a surname. I guess maybe because that was my great grandmother's last name. I usually like some surnames as first names, but this just isn't one of them (and yes, for some reason, people think you're saying 'flem'. I guess they're not listening).

On the Disney Channel Show "Shake it Up", a character is called "Flynn Jones", played by Davis Cleveland.

I absolutely LOVE the name Flynn for a boy! I think it's spunky, quirky, fun, playful, but will still sound appropriate on a doctor or lawyer. When he's younger, Flynny is a pretty adorable nickname option. Flynn is easily one of my favorite boy's names.

Orlando Bloom's son is named Flynn.
