I have a relative that named their kid that, and use his initials as his nickname.
I have another relative that named their kid something for which Finn is the nickname, so it was somewhat handy that Phineas is not all Finn/Phin.
They're both okay, I guess. I think they were both really popular like 5 years ago.

Terrible

Ferb, naturally.

Love it. But if you plan to call him Phin just save the trouble and go with Finn.

I'm not crazy about it. Finn or Phineas are usually the troublemakers ( at least in our school where I am a teacher)

I can’t believe I know this, but Julia Roberts named her son Phinneas.

Phineas and Ferb.

Funny Ass.

Beautiful name. Also my cat's name (I chose it). I would not spell it with an F.

It will condemn him to a lifetime of his name being misspelled.

No.

I'd spell it with an F. The obvious nickname is Finn. Not sure how you couldn't see that one yourself.
