[Opinions] Re: Fionn
in reply to a message by Aine
I like this name too :-)
However, I don't think it'd work well outside of Ireland unless you went with the spelling Finn... you know anybody else (no matter the country) will want to say "fee-on."
Though those with Irish ancestry or a love of Ireland may know how to correctly pronounce it. I can imagine a little boy with this name having some problems in school though... with kids/teachers accidentally (or purposely, I'm sure in some cases) saying "Fiona" instead.
Some mn combo ideas:
Fionn Jameson (edit: BtN likes to spell this mn as Jamison apparently :P)
Fionn Bradley
Fionn Brandon
Fionn Marcus
Fionn Cedric
Fionn Alexander
Fionn Carter
and my favorite - Fionn Gawain (finn ga-wayn? awesome sounding! he sounds like a strong, brave man doesn't he? But with a combination of names of two mythic heroes... of course lol)
Some fn combo ideas (I know you didn't request these, but they popped into my head and I though they sounded great lol):
Benjamin Fionn
Luke Fionn
Ariston Fionn
Cedric Fionn
Alexander Fionn
Henry Fionn
