I am not pregnant again but love names. My question is whether or not Finn is too much of a stretch as a nickname for Stephen. My DH isn't a fan of that name by itself but he would love a III so I think it'd be a good compromise. What do y'all think? Thank you!

i don't think it's too much of a stretch!
as long as you use it right from the beginning i'm sure it will stick! -
I think it's a fine nickname!
Think of all the kids years ago that go by "Buddy", hahaI also know an Edward that goes by "Ted".
or the names (nicknames) Xander, Liam and Topher. Alexander, William and Christopher.

@tysonja: Thanks! It'd be easier since my FIL lives with us too.
@rachiecakes: Good point! My DH likes Sonny as a nn but I like Finn better...and my nephew goes by Topher. -
I like that nn!
-
I don't think it's a stretch either, especially if that's what you always call him.
-
I like Finn as a nickname! SteFINN. See, it works, and isn't a far stretch!
-
@belleoftheballe: @Leialou: @Alivoo01: Thanks ladies! I shall mention it to DH as a future possibility then
-
I don't think that is too much of a stretch. I pronounce Stephen more like "Steff-N" but still.
-
@pui: Thanks for your input! I pronounce it as ste-vin but close enough.
-
@cheesetomywhine: I really like Finn! My dog's name is Findley and we call him Finn for short! I love the name Findley too, but I can't name a kid that now that I have had a dog named that lmao.
-
@pui: Haha great name though! My DH is sad that we named our cat Stewart because he likes it as a name.
-
i think so!
-
@mrsjyw: thank you!
-
I think so!
-
@Mrs. Champagne: thank you!
-
I like it and I think it'll be fine as long as you use it from the beginning.
-
t@Sweet T: thank you. It'd help give him his own identity too.
-
Love it!
-
You can call him whatever you want!!
That's what we figured when we liked the name Jodie but couldn't come up with a full, more traditional sounding name. Her name is Josephine but we call her Jodie.
-
@grizz: thanks!
@mrs. wagon: true true! Love Josephine and Jodie! -
My SIL is Christina and goes by Nina. Nothing is too far of a stretch if it sticks!!!
-
Finn works as a nickname. Clever.
-
@KJfromNJ: Good to know.
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Thank you! I'm pleased lol.
-
I really love it !
-
@coacheswife123: Aw thank you
as long as you use it right from the beginning i'm sure it will stick! Reply
