number two on the way. I have been watching glee since the poor bean was conceived. It's no surprise Finn is swimming around in my head. But is it already very popular and are we about to see Finn get the twilight Edward treatment? We're irish btw so legit culture claim!!!!!!
More to the point am i just gleeked and hearing Finn as a lovely name? Fix me....

Finn is a lovely name, Glee or no Glee.

The Twilight thing is books and films and merchandise (so much merchandise, and all aimed at teens....) and Glee is a TV show, so I don't see it getting to the point where it's a huge cultural juggernaut like Twilight, even though it's great, and popular.

Sorry but I don't like the name Finn (and I don't watch Glee).

Since you're Irish, what do you think of Fiach? (FEE-uk, uk like Scottish 'loch') Or Fiacra (FEE-uh-kra)?

We don't watch glee and our youngest son aged 8 months now is Louis Finn, we really struggled with which name to put first but love both. I love it it just happens that in Glasgow where we currently live it is becoming v popular and glee might make it more popular. If you like it go for it..

Now who would waste a nice name like that on a dog?

Finn is a darling name. I've never even heard of Glee and know nothing about it.

Not sure where you live but it's extremely popular near me (london/south east), I know about four and i overhear the name a lot. Don't let that put you off if you like it though.

I didn't even know it was on glee but I see loads of babies and toddlers called Finn. How about Fionn though for Irish to make it more different, i used to know a boy called that, back when the name was rare-ish (prn the same)

No idea what/who Glee is ...

...but know loads of Finns and wouldn't choose it on that basis. I do love Quinn, however (I think Sharon Stone named her son Quinn).

I like it. I like Finlay / Finley and shorten it to Finn. My DP however hates it, and a girl at work called her boy Finn so it's out for me

I LOVE glee btw
