Can you ever be ready for a baby?
Before you get pregnant, you might have all the boxes ticked, or you could be the 'let's just see what happens' type. No matter what your style, it can help to think about the emotional aspects of parenthood.

We're thinking of the name Flynn for our second child due in May. No thoughts on a middle name yet, but I'm after some feedback on Flynn. Does anything come to mind when you think of that name?
Thanks in advance for your replies. :-) |

It makes me think of Errol Flynn. And I don't like Errol Flynn. But I'd probably be fonder of Flynn if I didn't dislike Errol so much.
It does remind me of Finn/Finnian/Finnegan etc. which I like more. I also like Flint (seeing it as like Jasper or Ruby) but most people don't so I should probably show myself out. |

La di dah - when you say you don't like Errol Flynn do you mean you don't like name EF, or you don't like the man who was EF?

QUOTE (MrsKLP @ 30/12/2012, 08:47 PM)  La di dah - when you say you don't like Errol Flynn do you mean you don't like name EF, or you don't like the man who was EF? I don't like the man Errol Flynn and it sorta taints it for me. I like Finn enough to freely admit I'd probably like Flynn too if I didn't have that association. (Though Flynn is a bit more surname-y and that's not really my thing). And I like Fox, so yeah. As far as the name Errol Flynn, I can't say I'd rush out to choose Errol. Flynn as a middle name, Errol Flynn SomethingElse, would be interesting, but I tend to like 1 syllable middles like that. |

Flynn would have been the name we would have chosen if DD was a boy. We didn't use it for DS2 as my eldest had a friend Flynn at the time and DH wouldn't use it at the time because of the association.
We are having no 4 and Flynn is one of our front runners if bub is a boy. So yes, I like it
