Baby names
The name Finley is a boy's name of Scottish, Irish origin meaning "fair-haired hero". Finley is a Scottish royal name (it belonged to Macbeth's father) riding the wave of Finn names. Chris O'Donnell used it for one of his sons, and Angie Harmon and Jason Sehorn did a gender switch when they named their daughter Finley. Though Finley has been used for both sexes for enough years to make it onto our popular unisex names list, the name at most recent count was running at almost two to one in favor of the girls, no doubt heavily influenced by Harmon and Sehorn's use of it for their daughter.
