Finnleigh - how best to spell it

[teafortwo]

This seems to be one of thirty-one spellings and slight variations for this name....

It is my friend's 'boys name' - She asked me "So, how shall I spell it, then?"

MN name experts - pleeeeaaaaase - make me look wewlly cleva and tell me which spelling I should say she should go for and why!?!

Thank you for your time.

I am starting to think she should call him Bob.... no spelling issues with that one!

Findlay or Finley or Finlay.

Finleigh is McIrish to my ear!

Go for Finbar or Fintan and use Fin as a nn.

Finley. Tis the best name in the world (because I have one!)

aaaaaaaawwwwww!!!! - nnibnabs - lovely!

My ds1 is a Finlay-his dads choice of spelling but i wanted Finley.My argument was it's not said Fin-laaay it's Fin-lee.His reply was you dont call me Step-hen!Thats where i lost the argument.
TBH we call him Fin most of the time anyway.

Nnibnabs- I have to agree

There's Finley in DD's class, and Finlay in the other Reception class. Finlay looks 'right' to me, Finley is in no way bad but does make me think more of a small suburb of somewhere or other, rather than a child.

Finlay would only be pronounced Fin-laaay if you were from Birmingham.

I can hear that 'fin - lye' in Bham.
It wasn't that interesting TF2, just a dodgy tummy. I wish I had just swept in from a night dancing on a yacht. Oh well!

Finlay

rowingboat... mmmm..... here's hoping on your next 5pm post will be for a more glamorous reason!

Thanks! It may be some time before that happens...

Finley or Finlay.

DS has a Finlay and a Finley in his class at playschool

My ds is called Finley. Choose to spell it this way because I was worried that if it was spelt Finlay then people would pronounce it Fin-laay which I don't like.
Fyo, there are 2 others at his school - another Finley and a finnley.
