Which is considered the 'traditional' spelling for a boy's first name?

no/no/no and no - awful awful name no matter the spelling

I'm also considering Finlay. Findlay is more common spelling in Scotland I believe.

I like 'Fintan' best of the 'fin' names.

Go Phineas, gwan gwan

... and Finn (Fionn) is a name in its own right.

Glad that's all sorted out

What flat said :)

Fionnlagh is the true original spelling. Finlay is the anglicised spelling.

Findlay is from the surname, and Finley is a modern take on Finlay.

Ignore this, dp just found a thread on here & it seems Finlay is the traditional spelling.
