Both are lovely, but I like [name_m]Finn[/name_m] better! They’re both very on-trend and popular, but [name_m]Finley[/name_m] feels more trendy to me, which isn’t my personal style, and I like how [name_m]Finn[/name_m] can work very well internationally!

I like [name_m]Finn[/name_m] better as well. [name_m]Finley[/name_m] feels like it could be used for a boy or a girl while [name_m]Finn[/name_m] feels completely masculine.

However, if [name_m]Finley[/name_m] is a family name, then I would say [name_m]Finley[/name_m] becomes a better option than [name_m]Finn[/name_m].

Both are solid names though.

[name_m]Finley[/name_m]! I like the gentler, slightly quirky-but-familiar vibe of it! [name_m]Finn[/name_m] has a similar vibe but a bit more zippy and contemporary

[name_m]Finley[/name_m], I find it a little softer than just [name_m]Finn[/name_m]. And flow wise I think ita a lot more versatile. Plus in the future if he decide he didnt feel like a [name_m]Finn[/name_m] he could go by [name_m]Lee[/name_m]

I prefer [name_m]Finley[/name_m] myself… [name_m]Finn[/name_m] is nice but [name_m]Finley[/name_m] feels more versatile for me? I’m a big [name_m]Finley[/name_m] fan. [name_m]Finn[/name_m] also reminds me too much of Glee; I like that I don’t immediately think of 1 person with [name_m]Finley[/name_m].

I like both, but I lean towards [name_m]Finley[/name_m]. With [name_m]Finley[/name_m], you still get to keep [name_m]Finn[/name_m] as a nickname. So it is the best of both worlds. They have the same vibe, but in my mind, [name_m]Finley[/name_m] feels more complete.

I prefer [name_m]Finn[/name_m] slightly. So slightly that the fn/mn or fn/ln combination could sway me to [name_m]Finley[/name_m]. They are not exactly the same vibe to me, though.

[name_m]Finn[/name_m] is more worldly and outgoing, athletic, competent, and hard to pinpoint as a certain age.

[name_m]Finley[/name_m] is quieter, softer, more academic, and more likely to be under the age of 12 currently.

I prefer [name_m]Finley[/name_m]. He feels more full and complete, and I prefer the softer sound the -ley brings in. You also get the best of both worlds as he could easily be shortened to [name_m]Finn[/name_m]!
