I do not think that Phineas, Finnegann, or Finian match Liam and Brody. From you list I like Finn or Finley.

Another way to use the name Finn is: Griffin, nn Finn

Finn is such a cute name!!!

I would spell it Finnegan, not with two ns at the end.

I also like Griffin.

Yay, Finn! ;)

Ok, while you know I like all of those, Finley easily got my vote. Finn, Finian and Finnegann just don't sound that great with the "an" beginning of Andrew. Phineas is fine, and it's nice that it doesn't end in the "ee" sound like Brody and Finley would, but it just doesn't have the same feel as Liam and Brody's names, KWIM? That one seems more like you're just trying to get the nn Finn and less like you like the name itself (not that you don't, but you get my point). So Finley Andrew GMV.

Some other "Finn" names (you may not like any others, I'm just throwing them all out there for you LOL):

Finbar(r)/Fionnbarr
Fingal/Fion(n)gall
Fingus/Finnegas
Fintan/Fiontan (same "an" problem though)

If the flow with Andrew isn't a concern, my favorites from your list would be Finian and Finley.

HTH ;)

I just love Finn/Finney. Phineas is probably my favourite, but just Finn definitly goes best w/your boys' names. Excellent.

I love Finnegan, spelled this way. And it's so very Irish (i.e. James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake...one of his best books!). I don't like the additional N and the end, though (unless of course, it's a family surname, and that's the way it's spelled).

Love the sibset Finn, Liam and Brody! All of these names were on my shortlist, unfortunately my husband didn't like them.

I also like Griffin with nickname Finn, I also like Flynn, but I think Finn goes best with his brother's names.

Good luck.

I voted for Finn, it's so cute and goes so well with your other boys' names. We are also considering Finn. Actually, I love Flynn. Husband prefers Finn. Since I go in to be induced on Sunday, we only have a few days to decide. Both are great names and I would be happy with either, but am still rooting for Flynn! :)
