I think we like the name for our second son but I'm not sure what to do about the spelling. Go for phonetic so it will be easier for him to learn, or go for the traditional spelling?

Oh, and congratulations by the way!

Definitely Finn. To me 'Fynn just looks a bit contrived. If you wanted something a bit different, you could go for 'Fionn' (fi-yun) instead? Means the same thing, but is the Irish version.

Finn is both easier and right!

I know one of each.

Fynn is much less common, and he finds everyone spells it wrong!

Nice name.
