So, I love the name Finn/Finley for a boy. But, I don't know if Finley is becoming too feminine...honest thoughts on this, please! I wouldn't be naming a child this for 5-10 years in the future (don't know if this changes anything).
Also, would Wiley & Finley be good for brothers...Wiley & Finn?

Thanks!

In my opinion it is one of the few names that has managed to stay truly unisex.  Wiley and Finn are great for brothers they match perfectly.

I consider Finley to be 100% boy.  I prefer "unisex" names (in most cases) for little boys instead of little girls. lol

 

Wiley and Finn fit well for brothers.

Finley works great for a boy! I prefer it as a boy name. Wiley and Finley "Finn" are fantastic!

I agree with what everyone else has said. I think of Finley as completely a boys name. Also, Wiley and Finn is a cute sibset.

I always think boy. I like your combo a lot, especially when you use "Finn" for a nickname. Very cute!
