[Opinions] Re: Finn
I like it. I prefer Finnegan, though. Yes, it makes me think of a fish, but I consider that a good thing. I love animals and Finn gives me a lovely image of a fisher town, fish, the ocean, it's a nice image.

Finn makes me think of fishes as well. I also consider it a good thing. It use to bother me, but lately I've come to enjoy the fishy association. I think of fish fins, porpoise fins, shark fins, whale fins, and of oceans, seas, lakes and rivers. It makes me think of Huckleberry Finn, which is a very water based book since it takes place along a river. Fionn mac Cumhaill is also a cool hero of legend who gains knowledge from eating the Salmon of Knowledge.My parents have a little neighbor named Finn who is just a little over 2 years old. He's a cute little boy with a head of blond curls and green eyes. I think actually interacting with a Finn rather than just seeing it around has made me have more love for it and to see that the fish association isn't a negative but a positive.I like the name Finn / Fionn though it is a bit short. My favorites are Fintan, Finnian, Finnegas, Fingal, Finley / Finlay and Finn / Fionn. I like Finnegan and Finbar but not as much as the others.
