I'd be concerned people would spell his full name Finneas then.

Julia Roberts' son is called Finn

but is spelled Phineaus.

So?

I am saying that I think it's silly.
Maybe Julia and her man think it's ok.

I'm just saying

That people probably won't assume it's spelled Finneas just because he goes by Finn.

+I mean, I know a Catherine who went by Katie as a child, and goes by Kitty now. No one ever assumed she spelled it Catie and Citty.

I think Phineas with the nickname Finn would be an interesting conversation piece. Many people get confused by everything, so I wouldn't try and dance to their tune.
