How would you Spell...?

Hi all,
We've just had a baby boy, and have decided on a name, but can't decide how to spell it... the first way appears to be by far the most common way of spelling it, but I prefer the look of the second way and it sounds different somehow in my head, even though when I say them out loud they sound the same! I've no particular wish for the name to be 'unusual' for the sake of it. Which spelling do you prefer?
FINLEY
or
FINLAY

Ta!

I prefer Finlay, but I usually see it spelled Findlay. Have never seen it spelled without a D. It's a lovely name though.

Finley. When I see it spelt 'Finlay' I imagine it being said in a really chavvy way.
