I voted for Finian/Finnian because the Finn names seem to work best for you and I prefer it slightly to Finlay/Finley. However, you are right about how others will pronounce the name. Both these spellings are pronounced Finn-ee-an (like Finn with Ian on the end ... or exactly as they're spelled in other words LOL). Of course, Finan IS a name (in fact, this is the correct spelling of it). Fionan is another form (influenced by the name Fionn, which is also pronounced Finn). Perhaps if you'd like it pronounced Finan you might like these? Just a thought! ;)

I love love love Finn. If one of my best friends didn't already have a Finian/Finn, it'd be tops on my list. I voted for Finian because I like it better han Finley, but I definitely agree that it will be (and should be) pron. Finn-ee-an.

I like Finley the best. I LOVE the nn Gray, but Grayer just isn't my style. Maybe Grayson or Graham?

I voted Keegan/Kegan. We named my youngest son this. But we spelled it Keagan. I prefer this spelling it looks nicer. IMO

hey guys thanks for your input.!!!

Thanks for the Finian / Fionan...i should have known that because I actually have loved Finn spelled Fionn, so it should have been common sense...

But I think I like
1. Finlay
2. Fionan
3. Finnian - I don't like this because I don't like the nn: Finnie

Thanks for all your input!!!!

But a Finnian is unlike to end up Finnnie unless it's a family/baby nickname. By the time he's 3 he'll probably be Finn on a daily basis, just like you want. I think Finnian is the most polished of your choices and I think it ages very well. Finnian/Finn is awesome, indeed!
