Finnian or Finnan?

Which do you prefer? How do you say them?
I am so loving this name at the moment. I do prefer the Finnian but I’ve heard Finnian pronouced as Finnan?

i say them pretty much as written! FINN-ee-uhn and FINN-uhn. i prefer finnian - it just looks a little more complete.

I prefer [name_m]Finnian[/name_m], it feels more complete to me!

I pronounce [name_m]Finnian[/name_m] as FINN-ee-in (the last syllable changes between “in” and “uhn”) and [name_m]Finnan[/name_m] as FINN-in.

[name_m]Finnian[/name_m] flows better for me, [name_m]Finnan[/name_m] ends a bit abruptly. I also like the potential behind nn [name_m]Ian[/name_m], so I’ll go with that.

I say [name_m]Finnan[/name_m] as Fin-ehn and [name_m]Finnian[/name_m] as Fin-ee-uhn.

i prefer finnian, and the first time i read finnan, i actually mis-read it as finnian, so that might be an issue if you did give that to a child

That’s how I pronounce it :blush:

[name_m]Finnian[/name_m] by a landslide and I think I pronounce this name the way most of the responders have. Finn-ee-un and Finn-ehn. I mean they’re both nice names, I would just pick [name_m]Finnian[/name_m] if it was my little boy
