We have 2 boys with 3 letter names and expecting another…
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Love[/name_f] the name Finn/Fin but is it weird to spell with 3 letters? I imagine it will probably look like we had to match it to his brothers and it will always be misspelled? [name_m]Or[/name_m] is [name_m]Finn[/name_m] not the most common spelling?
[name_f][/name_f]
Thoughts?
[name_f][/name_f]
And open to any other 3 letter names that match the vibe of [name_m]Finn[/name_m]. [name_m]Jem[/name_m] or [name_m]Taz[/name_m] are 2 other options….
I would choose Finn over Fin - Fin is shark anatomy and French “end”. I would only use Fin as a nickname for Finley etc, but not as a stand-alone. But if it’s your number 1 and you’re deadset on the three letter match, use it!
Meanwhile, I love Jem! (And more than Finn/Fin)
Otherwise:

(Pretty sure this is boys’ only but some girls: Zoe, Sky, Liv, Rue, Ivy, Mia, Ena, Uma, Una, Nia, Noa, Eve, Joy.)
Do you specifically want a 3 letter name? You only have two other boys. I think it’d be different if you had 7 kids with 3 letter names and Finn was the odd one out, but with only 2 siblings, no one would even think there is a pattern there, other than them all having short names! I’d definitely stick to the common, traditional spelling of Finn. No one will think about the letter count, I guarantee you!
[name_m]Finn[/name_m] is[name_f][/name_f] the more popular spelling and I think the one most people would guess so [name_m]Fin[/name_m] would probably need to correct it a lot of the time?
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Fin[/name_m] is used, but a lot more quietly but I don’t think it would be too weird? I’ve seen it used quite often as a nickname for [name_m]Finley[/name_m] for example?
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Jem[/name_m] and [name_m]Taz[/name_m] though!! [name_m]Taz[/name_m] is so cool!
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Three[/name_m] later names like[name_f][/name_f] Finn…
[name_m]Finn[/name_m] is lovely! [name_f][/name_f] Personally I would skip [name_m]Fin[/name_m]? [name_f][/name_f] I know a family who had a [name_m]Finley[/name_m] nn [name_m]Fin[/name_m], but just [name_m]Fin[/name_m] reminds me of a fish, unfortunately (or the [name_f]French[/name_f] word for “end” like others have said). [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Finn[/name_m] is a lovely name, and while not 3 letters, it’s a lovely name and short enough that I don’t think it would stick out with two other 3-letter names!
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you mind sharing your other two sons’ names with us? [name_f][/name_f] That would help with recommendations. [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Taz[/name_m] is really fun, though!

I think you could spell [name_m]Fin[/name_m] with three letters, but I think it would be misspelled often, or assumed to be short for [name_m]Finley[/name_m].
I love [name_m]Finn[/name_m]! I say go ahead & spell it the four letter way. It makes more sense to have a more accurate spelling and not have the kids amount of letters match. It’s still short & sweet. [name_f][/name_f] I love [name_m]Jem[/name_m], too. [name_m]Taz[/name_m] not as much, but I can see myself liking [name_m]Taz[/name_m] okay for a nn. But that’s probably not what you’re looking for.
[name_f][/name_f]
I’m sure there will be a lot of repeats, but I like…
[name_f]Love[/name_f] a short name! Though I would spell [name_m]Finn[/name_m] with two ns, I think all of them being short still matches and makes his life a lot easier.
