Finn Frost - too many 'F's'

I really like the name Finn, but with our surname Frost - do you think it sounds weird? As in too alliterative?

thanks!

Finley Frost is better but still a bit of a tongue twister.

Agree with the above, sounds like Thin Frost.

Lovely name, but yes, too many Fs!

I would also avoid Jack

Ha ha! Didn't think of 'Thin Frost'...

...and Jack is already out for the similar reason!

I like a bit of alliteration, doesn't sound weirder than Ben Bond or Jamie Johnson.

I think it sounds cute, although didn't think of the thin frost thing..
I think its still useable though

I have an alliterative name and always really hated it - although people have told me it is cool I don't agree! I like the name Finn but think Finn Frost is a bit too sing-songy and agree with the thin frost comment. Finley is a bit better but there are loads of nice boys' names that don't begin with F - why not choose one of them?

I think the alliteration would be OK if the first name had more syllables, which is why Finlay works better than Finn.

I know a few people with alliterative names (although TBH most married into them) and they usually sound fine.

It sounds like you are complaining about the weather (f'ing frost)

Finbar Frost? I've always liked the name Finbar, it sounds sturdy.

Soften it up by lengthening Finn. Make it Finbar Frost?

I like alliteration and one of my children's names is alliterative. But there are more syllables, imo it works better than Finn Frost, which sounds a bit chop chop.

Hmm I'm not sure about Finn Frost. I think for one you need a longer name. Finley Frost sounds better.

I think you need to be careful with alliteration. Ben Bond is not great IMO; It sometimes works tho; I know a Maisie Morgan and I think that's OK.

LOL @ Jack.

Frost is a great surname actually. I think you need an open sound at the end of the first name so it doesn't sound too harsh - Harvey, Jamie, Stanley, Billy etc.

Nothing wrong with alliteration! My DH is an MM and I would have been had my parents not chickened out (due to it being an MM!)I wish they hadn't though.

I think it can be catchy and rememberable, though in the case of Finn Frost, it does sound like Thin Frost. Can he not be Finlay?

Ooh I Wouldn't have thought of thin frost and I'm s real deep thinker with names.
FinbAr is lovely but it could be shortened to Finn, so I'd avoid any name with Finn with the lSt nsme Frost.
Grin @ Jack.

The kid in question is almost 5, so I'm guessing its a bit late to advise on names.
