I guess this is why you should never tell family the names you are considering! I told my cousin that we like the name Finn. She said well better make sure the boy isn’t fat at school otherwise he may get bullied for not being ‘fin’ 😂 I know it was only a joke but has now actually got me worried that this could be a problem 🤔
Any thoughts?

Or if he’s too thin…thin fin 😭 I think it’s ok tho they could get bullied with any name tbh.

As person above said, doesnt matter what name you pick. Kids can find a nickname for any name if they try hard enough and want to bully you! 🤷♀️🤦♀️ choose what name you like and feels right for your little one! X

We have a Finn and that’s never crossed our mind! 😂 I remember our family being like “oh don’t you want to go for Finlay?” or just making a face at the name… now everyone is obsessed with it because of who Finn is 🥰 Go with the name that you love and ignore any unwanted opinions. It’s your baby xx

I told my friend that I was going to name my boy Presley and she laughed in my face, then said “no, what you really going to call him”. I explained that’s is going to be his name and asked her why she was laughing and she said “that’s not a real name”.
🙄

I think its a cute name! Kids find anything they can to pick on others. I love my own name and I got the odd comment as a kid. Glad my mom still chose it 👍

This is the main reason why I do not like to tell anyone baby names because what do they do? Right away start criticizing and or tell stories about how they will not be able to pronounce the name or how they will be made fun of! Just cmon mind your own business people 😒

Finn is such a cute name 🥰 don’t let anyone put you down; you don’t deserve that ♥️

There's no accounting for what people will make of a name in years to come.... Even the most sensible options could end up with problems if there's a celebrity etc with the same name etc. My stepdaughters called Alexa, (from Way before Amazon hijacked it) there was no way of knowing the connotations that would arise from it. Just go with what u like, ur second choice if u drop Finn could end up with repercussions too x

My parents asked what we’re planning to name our child and when we told them, my mom said the name sounded old-lady esc and everyone looked at us like we are crazy. So maybe I just won’t tell them next time. But if you like the name, that’s what matters! Name your child something you love, not whatever anyone else thinks 💕

Just go with what you love. People will make fun of any name if they want to, kids made fun of mine all the time. We named our first Remi and everyone jokes she's named after Remy Martin, which she's absolutely not. Besides, the name Finn is absolutely amazing, it was on our list too ❤️

I got Bridget the midget (not even short) and because my last name was Mayo I had mayonnaise packets thrown at me. I still liked my name lol
I wouldn’t avoid a name over an obscure possibility of a bully twisting it around, because they will do that with anything.
The words that rhyme with my husband’s name (Tucker) are…unfortunate. It still suits him and is a great name and after middle/high school that kind of crap doesn’t happen

I got called Charlotte the Harlot a few times in high school and you can’t get any more “safe” than Charlotte in my opinion🤷🏾♀️. Pick whatever name you love as kids can find a way to twist anything lol x

We’ve just called our son Brodie Finn and this never even entered our heads! Finn is a beautiful name but people will always have an opinion 🙄

Love the name!
That's a Huge stretch for kids to make.

Finn is so cute!

My sons name is Finn 💙 we had people say he was gonna be made fun of because of his name but idc I absolutely LOVE it. Now he's 5 and literally everyone has said how much they love his name! Funny how people's minds change! 🤣🙄
It took us forever though to find a good name for this boy but we finally settled on Archer Anthony and we absolutely LOVE it as well! 💙

I love the name Finn. Go for it!

I feel this. We told people we were naming our daughter Ellie and my boyfriend's cousin got a cat and named it elly mae which was a rip from both my girls. She proceeded to tell me I should name my daughter something else because Ellie was a terrible name for a child.
I like the name finn. If you like it that's all that matters.

I love that name
We were going for Kit if we had a boy .. everyone we mentioned it to said he'll get called "KitKat"... like... if that's the worst thing he ever got called that's still a pretty good life.
Ended up with Eva instead. Which we didnt really tell people until after she was born so they csnt say anything now 🤣

Jen the hen here 🙄🙋🏼♀️
Creative? No
Hilarious? Also no

My sons name is Finnegan and we call him Finn we got all the backlash from my family but honestly everyone else that i tell loves his name

lets be honest, no matter what your name is, some kids are just dicks. a name might make it easier but ultimately if it isn’t the name the bully is going to find something else to tease about

I’m sorry but people will hate regardless so beat thing to do is make you your hubby an baby happy

UM. Lol or we can just teach our future generations that body shaming ain’t cool. 😌
I love the name Finn.
My son’s name is Gunnar 🥰😌

I have a cousin named Finn. He doesn’t get picked on and I love the name!!

I love the name and think they have too much time on their hands to make up a bully name for a baby
