Nothing for short. He goes by Finnegan. Everyone calls him that. I full expect him coming back from college in a decade and say something like, "Call me Finn, dad. I'm no longer Finnegan." And I'll respond, "your friends may call you Finn, but after 18 years, you're always going to be Finnegan to me."

I hope he starts going by Flynn.

 
When is this silly name thing going to get to the point where people start using traditional names again, just to be different. 

"Ohhh, what a cute boy. What's his name?"

"Michael."

"Hmm.... I've never heard that... Very interesting."

A co-worker just had a baby and named her...Joan. Everyone thought she was named after a grandmother or favorite auntie, but my co-worker said that her and her husband wanted a one syllable first name because their last name has three syllables, and they simply liked the sound of Joan.

Your point is interesting. Will we circle back to where we start seeing again names like: Margaret/Dorothy/Lorraine?

:shrug:

Kids don't give a #### anymore that someone has a ####ed up or different name for thiose names make up like 50% of the names these days. So, a kid like Kevin or Steve may think he is cool cause his dad gave him a boring ### name, but he sure as hell isn't going to have any grounds for beating up a kid named Camden cause half his friends are gonna have similar names

Jaxsyn, Kcaydyn and Montessori are definitely stepping up to defend Camden in this case

You mean like Emma? I remember as a kid snickering at my grandmother's name of Emma. Now that Old Lady name is everywhere.

There are a few old school names that have regained popularity the last few years. 

Olivia is very popular. So is Ann/Anna. 

 
I normally can't stand names like Parker, Hunter, Ryder, etc but a family friend just named her baby "Carter" and I actually like it. It's a boy. 

My brother's friend named his daughter "Boston." A distant cousin named her daughter "Bronx." Not feeling either name.

That's funny. My 1 year old is Dorothy. Named after my wife's grandmother. My grandmother's name was Lorraine. 

 
Was listening to Dan Patrick Show this week, and yesterday and Keegan-Michael Key was on and they got to talking about Key & Peele's football player's names skit.

Here is the interview, talking about how it came from D'brickashaw Ferguson's name that Jordan Peele noticed while playing Madden. And if you haven't seen the skit, here it is.
