Fan or Fern maybe?

Or could just be lots of Finns.

Me too. I still don't know what his motivation is coming out of Episode 7. Why does he go from trying to help Slip on Jakku to actively fighting against the First Order in the span of one or two days? Because outside of executing innocent villagers what would makes the Resistance any better than the First Order, what makes their fight any more noble?
Anyway I hope they did some heavy lifting on not only Finn's characterization, but on the Resistance arc as a whole. Right now it looks like pretty much no one on this board or even on the internet for that matter gives a crap about Finn or the Resistance story-line. This is one of the main reasons why I still want a force-sensitive Finn.

My advice. Go into Episode VIII with no expectations Finn is force sensitive. That way you're not disappointed if he isnt, but happily suprised if he is.

The problem is I can't ignore the hints in Episode 7 or the fact that if they're not hints would then make his story is so far look like one big ruse in service of another character's development. It's one of those "Once you see it you can't unsee it" things.

I have the same problem. Though i'm trying hard to convince myself that finn will spend this movie getting bodied and looking stupid so everyone else can look awesome. That way, I can be surprised, or completely unsurprised.

I'm sure it's been asked, but Finn's name is derived from "FN-2817"...so what happens if other stormtroopers decide to defect from the First Order? They've all got "FN" in their designations as well.

Let's see.
Frank Norris, Fabio Ninkovich, Fred Nunez, Felix Nguyen, Francine Nebula, Felicia Norman, Fernanda Nixon... Plenty of options. Or they can take Numero as a surname and become a family.

They choose something else?

When all those FNs are meeting Poe Dameron during their defection, receiving a pilot's jacket out of his hands - why not? ^^

No, it hasn’t been asked. Probably because as questions go, it’s not among the best.

Personally I like that he's not some Fett style super-badass, he's just a guy who wanted to get away from everything but ended up stuck right in the middle of it - because of his loyalty to his friends and his negative personal experiences of the First Order. He can't use the Force, he isn't an ace pilot, he's a decent but not exceptional shot, yet surrounded by people who have one or more of these qualities he has his place and he keeps going even when he knows he is fighting well above his weight. And he does it for his friends, and because it's the right thing to do. Star Wars is full of legendary heroes and villains and incredible feats but having someone who is basically a stormtrooper find a place amongst them is probably the freshest thing TFA bought to the saga for me.
