Which one?

Which do you like better for a little blonde boy with ample curls?

Finn
Anders


(Still scheming for middle names..)

I like Finn.

Finn, Anders doesn't seem like it's complete.

Yes! I feel like you're saying Anderson but someone surprised you or something.

Finn.

Finn

Both are amazing. I swooned a little at the name choices. Either one would be a great choice. ;)

I see Finn as having the blond curls, but that might be a bit too predictable / cliche.

I really like both, but I'm leaning toward Finn.

I definitely prefer Finn. Anders sounds a bit odd to me, but that's probably just because I've never known anyone with the name.

Anders. Finn feels overdone..

Anders. But they're both great!

Finn!

Finn. :)

I really like the names Lars and Henrik as middle names! Finn Henrik is dashingly handsome.

Is this for a character or a real newborn?

If it's a character, I tend to think of Finn as having more of an impish urchin feel to it, whereas Anders sounds more earnest and sweet.

Huckleberry Finn is probably responsible for the former association.

Finn!!!!

Finn!

I prefer Finn in general, blonde curls or not :p

My vote is also for Finn. Anders seems like it should be Anderson in the trendy last name as first name kind if way and I think he would get the nn Andy which I'm not too excited about.

Anders won't be recognized a lot in the US, I imagine a lot of people will think it's a creative take on Anderson or something, instead of realizing it's a common Scandinavian name. I think it's adorable and much less trendy than Finn.

For some reason, I always picture brown hair when I hear the name Finn so I'm going to say Anders.

Anders

When I think "Finn"... I see a brown haired boy. Not sure why lol

Finn. Anders sounds like a nickname for Andrew. I can see an Andrew with blond curls.
