Finn is a name with enormous energy and charm, that of the greatest hero of Irish mythology, Finn MacCool (aka Fionn mac Cuumhaill), an intrepid warrior with mystical supernatural powers, noted as well for his wisdom and generosity.

Finn is rising fast through the charts and is a nameberry favorite--and is also (go figure) the fourth most popular name in Germany). After entering the US pop list in 2000, Finn has moved up every year since, now at Number 304.

Finn was chosen by cool couple Christy Turlington and Ed Burns for their son, and also by Jane Leeves and Autumn Reeser. Played by Cory Monteith, Finn Hudson is a prominent character on "Glee."

Other up-and-comers in the same family: FINLAY and FINLEY, FINIAN and FINNIAN, FINNEGAN and FINNIGAN, and, from Germany, FYNN.
