Due to have a little boy very soon and myself and DH both like the name Finley or Finnley but unsure of which spelling! Nickname would be Finn

Finlay, I'd say. Definitely not Finnley though.

Finnley looks like it's a spelling mistake

Finley or Finlay

I think Finlay is the one I'd go for

PurpleDaisies · 15/04/2017 16:52

I've never seen Finnley and my phone tried to correct it to Finlay so I'd use the more conventional spelling.

CauliflowerSqueeze · 15/04/2017 16:55

One n.

Otherwise he will spend his whole life not only having to say it's with an e not an a but also that the n is a double letter.

ThoraGruntwhistle · 15/04/2017 17:00

Finley NN Fin, or just Finn as his whole name.

museumum · 15/04/2017 17:01

Finlay finley or Findlay
Definitely no double n.

DramaAlpaca · 15/04/2017 17:03

Finlay or Finley. Or just Finn.

Rockaby · 15/04/2017 17:12

I'd use Finlay but Finley is fine too. I don't think I'd use Finnley personally. It looks like more letters than it needs to be when I read it.

I have a Finlay but he's Finn 99% of the time. Definitely don't go for Finnley...it looks wrong.

What Thora said

Joeybee · 16/04/2017 00:00

I would spell it Finlay, and i think thats the most common spelling of it.

buttercup54321 · 16/04/2017 00:03

finlay

mum2be2boys · 16/04/2017 16:44

Finlay or Finlay. I prefer the name Finn as a name in its own right though.

MyNewBearTotoro · 16/04/2017 18:01

I would spell it Finley.

I really hate the spelling Finlay so wouldn't spell it that way although I think that's the conventional way.
