Spelling ?

Well it looks like we have decided on a boys name finally. Ok I've liked it
for awhile but DH has come around now since he chose the middle name
But my question to you all is about the spelling.... I am not sure how I
want to spell it:

Griffin
Griffen
Griffon
Gryphon
Griphon
Griphin
Gryphen

Ok so some of them are silly but what do you think?!

I like, in this order:

Gryphon
Griffen
Griffon

You might look the various spellings up and see if
there's anything in their origins that might help in
deciding!

Personally I really like and prefer the top three. I guess if you're
going for unique than the last four are fine as well. Just depends upon
your tastes I suppose.

Griffin.

All the rest just look incorrectly spelled to me. Well, except Gryphon, but
that is a mythical creature.

I honestly have some experience with this name
My own personal, humble opinion is the better spellings for names are
Griffin or Griffen- I actually prefer Griffin. The last ones on the list
make me think of medieval creatures and mythology, not that that's a bad
thing.

Just my opinion.

I think you should go with Griffin, that way people aren't going to always
misspell it.

I was going to say that there is only one way to spell Griffin, and this is
it g!

I always prefer the one that is spelled closest to how it's pronounced, so
I'd go with Griffin.

I like Griffin and Gryphon (probably because those are "real" spellings).
Griffin will probably be the least misspelled version. There is a Griffin in
my LLL group :-) I think it is a nice name (he is a spitfire!).
