I was going to name him Vinnie originally but the breeder took offence to me calling him that...she said 'you know the #1 Sheltie in Canada is named Vinnie' in other words I shouldn't use it. Then someone in the local Sheltie group also called their pup Finnie and that irked me:ROFLMAO: (but I'm ok with you calling your boy Finn). This lady we see each other at shows and meetings and I may yet do conformation when he's older so it could cause confusion.
I think I should just start calling him Vinnie lol, I much prefer that name and it's not like I have to change his CKC name (that's The Finishing Touch), it's just his call name.
It's funny, but until I named him Finnie I didn't realize how popular a dog name it is! Lots of Shelties named Finnie!

I asked my husband if he like Finnie, he came up with Finn, we agreed on that. Then I felt guilty because you have a Finnie, lol! Imitation is the highest form of flattery you know!

Your so right!
Plus it can be so hard to pick a name you shouldn't avoid a name just because someone else named their dog that. That's why I shoulda stuck with Vinnie...I liked it and thats all that mattered!
