How common is Finnigan (Finn)?

My husband and I both like this name! It looks like in the past year- two babies have been listed in our city’s hospital this year with the name. I’ve mentioned it to a few people- and they thought the name was certainly unique- so maybe it’s not catching on that quickly?

[name]LOVE[/name] it. Not popular at all in [name]England[/name] but I don’t know where you live.

Never met or heard of a single one irl

I know a 6 year old [name]Finnegan[/name] (in [name]Vermont[/name]).

Tons of [name]Finn[/name]'s. Not met a [name]Finnegan[/name] though.

I know two Finns, both girls and short for [name]Finley[/name]. It makes me sad. But I know lots of people who like the name and have mentioned it for future children.

I know a handful of Finns, (in Australia where its popular) but none are Finnegans which is not by any means the most popular long form.

[name]Finnegan[/name] and [name]Finnian[/name] are my favourite variations (aside from unrelated [name]Phineas[/name]), personally.

I’ve met [name]Finlay[/name]/[name]Finley[/name]/Fintans. And [name]Finn[/name] and [name]Flynn[/name] are the only one on the NSW charts.

[name]LOVE[/name] it! I prefer the [name]Finnegan[/name] spelling, but it’s just amazing. :slight_smile: The only time I’ve come across someone using it is on another board. I think just [name]Finn[/name] is a lot more popular.

Never heard it in [name]England[/name], but I know a girl from the US called [name]Finnegan[/name], I think she lives in [name]Washington[/name], D.C. and one eleven-year-old Irish boy with the name. I love it though.

I’ve never met a [name]Finnegan[/name] or a [name]Finn[/name] or any long form of the name at all. I think it’s bouncy and handsome all at once.
