Why is Finn so great?

All the Fins in the sea

The above link discusses one of my favorite boys names ever!  Finn is becoming more and more popular every year, and its no wonder why.  Its short.  Its strong.  And its cool.  And hey, if you are squeamish about one syllable names, you can also go with Finley or Finnegan!  Finley would be my choice of the two, but I don't really see the problem with Finn by itself.

Another nice little fact about Finn, there aren't an abundance of celebrities who have chosen this name.  The ones that have only make it cooler if you ask me.  Jane Leaves used this name in 2003 and Edward Burns used the name in 2006. 

There's also the fact that one of the male leads of Glee is Finn, as well.  He's a cute and sweet jock who has a soft spot for singing, which makes him all the more appealing!  I have a feeling that this fact alone is going to help the name sky rocket towards the top 100. 

Currently, Finn is #343 in popularity in the US.  The name hit the top 1000 in 2000, coming in at 834.  Its seen gains every year, except for the year 2002 (which it only dropped 4 spots), then resumed its climb towards the top.  Give it 3 or 4 years and it may very well have reached the top 100.  Maybe even the top 50.  Only time will tell, but I have high hopes for this wonderful name!
