Am deciding between [name_u]Finn[/name_u], [name_u]Theo[/name_u], [name_m]Leif[/name_m], [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], and [name_m]Cy[/name_m]. Are these too trendy? which name do you like best?
I think [name_m]Leif[/name_m] is a bit to out there but the rest are fine. My favourite is [name_u]Theo[/name_u] because it’s classic and trendy at the same time.
I adore both [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], love [name_m]Leif[/name_m]. Personally I would only use [name_m]Leif[/name_m] as a middle name. Between [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], I slightly prefer [name_u]Finn[/name_u]. I like [name_m]Cy[/name_m] for a nickname. I am not too fond of [name_u]Theo[/name_u].
Adding:
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_m]Leif[/name_m] or [name_u]Finley[/name_u]/[name_u]Finlay[/name_u] [name_m]Leif[/name_m] would be very handsome.
I love [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] best. [name_u]Finn[/name_u] is great too, and [name_m]Leif[/name_m] I love as a middle name. [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] [name_m]Leif[/name_m] would be awesome. [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] [name_u]Finn[/name_u], [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] [name_u]Theo[/name_u], [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], [name_m]Cy[/name_m] [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] could all work too… or do you have another middle name(s)?
[name_u]Love[/name_u] love love.
[name_m]Leif[/name_m] is underused and fabulous.
Only love for theo and [name_u]Finn[/name_u].
[name_u]Emmet[/name_u] is classic but nms.
The only name I really don’t like is [name_m]Cy[/name_m]. Though I could totally get behind [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] or [name_m]Cyprus[/name_m] or something (I have no idea what it would be short for if I am honest)
I love [name_u]Emmett[/name_u]!
[name_u]Love[/name_u] all of these except [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] - great taste!
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_u]Finn[/name_u] are much more popular than the other two, and are still rising pretty fast. Here in the UK they’re very popular, which is often a good indication of the way things are going in the US (where I’m guessing you probably are?) Also bear in mind that both are more frequently heard in real life than the numbers would suggest, because Theodores are often called [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and Finleys/Finlays (and other [name_m]Fin[/name_m]- variants) are often called [name_u]Finn[/name_u]. But relative popularity isn’t necessarily a bad thing - people will recognise the name and be able to spell/say it easily.
You might have trouble on those fronts with [name_m]Leif[/name_m] ([name_u]Leaf[/name_u]? [name_m]Lief[/name_m]? Layf?) and [name_m]Cy[/name_m] ([name_u]Si[/name_u]? [name_m]Sy[/name_m]? What’s it short for?), but I love both names and personally I wouldn’t let it stop me. But definitely something to think about.
I’d probably choose [name_u]Theo[/name_u], [name_m]Leif[/name_m] or [name_m]Cy[/name_m] because of the latest [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars film, which has a character called [name_u]Finn[/name_u]. It may be that the name really catches on and becomes toooo trendy. Good luck!
I like [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_u]Finn[/name_u].
Have you considered [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] nn [name_m]Cy[/name_m]?
thanks everyone for the input! I did think about [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and star wars- that it might increase the popularity and change the associations with the name. The middle name will probably be whatever sounds good with the name I pick, not a combination of those names. [name_m]Cy[/name_m] is not short for anything. [name_m]Cy[/name_m] Twombly is one of my favorite artists!
I feel like [name_u]Finn[/name_u] is getting trendy.
I like [name_u]Theo[/name_u].
I think [name_m]Lief[/name_m] is cool. Very cool. Make sure your son is cool enough to pull it off because it could go off to DorkLand very easily.
[name_m]Cy[/name_m] is cool but I’m not sure if it stands strongly enough on its own. [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] reminds of that mullet guy from the 90s.
I don’t have anything to say about [name_u]Emmett[/name_u]. It’s fine.
I love all of those names! My favourites are [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_u]Finn[/name_u] but I think all your names would be great.
[name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]Emmet[/name_u]. I like [name_m]Cy[/name_m] but would prefer it if it were used as a nick name.
[name_u]Emmet[/name_u] [name_m]Leif[/name_m] or [name_u]Emmet[/name_u] [name_u]Finn[/name_u] would be my choice.
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you want a traditional name? A population name? A unique name?
I don’t care if its super unique, but I would like a name where he won’t be one of five in his class. I’m really love [name_u]Finn[/name_u], but I am worried it will shoot up in popularity this year because of star wars.
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
In that order
