Here's some Finley trivia:
- Apparently, Finn is currently the 2nd "elite-est" baby name, right behind Henry. So hopefully that's good news for our boy. If elite means awesome then he is on the right track.
- There are 5 celebrities who have named their babies Finley. The three I knew were Daniel Baldwin (brother of my pal, Alec), Lisa Marie Presley and Chris O'Donnell. Although two of those Finleys were actually girls. Whoops.
- Finley is jumping up in popularity... but not as much as Finley for girls. Double whoops. Here's a view from my favorite baby website.

Naming a baby is serious business. And we're so glad we picked Finley... and the whole slew of nicknames that have followed.

Apparently, it's not acceptable for me to post about Finley without including pictures. Here he is, exploring the slide at Chick-fil-A.
PS. He will be ONE in 13 days. It makes my stomach flip to think about it.
Here's something weird. You wrote a post about Finley without any pictures. That's weird.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Vic. Graphs instead of baby pictures? Lame.
ReplyDeleteUm, I love math? I'll add a picture of his sweet little face in a bit. Stay tuned.
ReplyDeleteI think androgynous names are fine - it adds to the mystery (awesomeness) of a person - at least it would have before Facebook and Google stalking.
ReplyDeleteFinley is celtic in origin and means strong warrior. It makes for a memorable name especially when it becomes Finnbretto (is this a singing part?. Reminds me of Huckleberry and Tom Sawyer...
ReplyDeleteAhh baby naming is serious business. Especially when your husband won't agree on a single name you pick out. I hope babe number three has a name before July!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pics. he is so big!
ReplyDeleteOn the "elite baby website", Laura is #13 and Elizabeth #9- I'm apparently very elite!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little surprised Victoria is not on the elite name. It's really royal.
ReplyDeleteIt's very ironic that you posted this about Finley's name, becaauuuuse yesterday Lilias and I were discussing that the different goldfish in the cracker realm have names. I know how much you love goldfish(fried chicken) and the main goldfish cracker's name is Finn. How exciting!!
