Flint for a boy?

Thoughts? We're not expecting just yet, but we have two girls, Ashlynn and Hazel. Do you like it as a sib set?

Just make sure you teach him how to start a fire.

Next boy could be Steel Wool.

Sorry, I couldn't help it.

Flint is pretty horrible, to be honest.  Reminds me of starting a fire or the Flintstones.  I'd keep looking.

I don't like it. Flint could be a nn but it doesn't feel like a FN to me.

I do like Finn or Flynn

Flint is a town in Michigan. Not that it makes the name a deal breaker, but just fyi in case that matters to you.

I too think of starting a fire or the Flintstones. It would be a sad day if you actually picked Flint for a boy....sorry...I do agree with pps; I like Finn for a boy and it would be a good sib-set with your daughters!

Whoa ladies, don't go jumping off a bridge just yet! I guess we'll be crossing Flint off the list! Lmao! It is funny though how some mineral names: clay, coal, mica, work well, but i guess Flint is just too out there!

I don't think Flint is bad at all. I like it as a nature name for a boy. Most rock names go boy for me.I went to college with a Flint, he was a really nice guy, no one made fun of him for his name.

I like it with Hazel, but not with Ashlynn. Then you get too much of a fire pit theme rather than a nature theme.

Fits right in with the depressed and blighted city names Camden and Trenton.

I wouldn't name my kid after a poverty stricken city in Michigan.

Bad bad bad.  Flynn is good.  Finn is good.  Flint is not.
