No comments on the spelling, thanks - the dogs can't read anyway, so I don't think they have an opinion.

I went with Fips because I've heard that dogs go more by the vowels so foops/moops could cause confusion. Finneus versus Finnigan was a more random choice.

Well, Finn is totally deaf anyway, and we only ever use nicknames when saying what good wonderful doggies they are. He can't hear us and our tone of voice, but he clearly understands that people looking at him and moving their mouths while generally smiling is a Good Thing and he should wag his tail.

I answered "Finnigan" but may I also humbly suggest "Finnamon" as in Sweet Finnamon Roll.

Well, there's no 2nd syllable in "Finn" to draw the onset consonant from (the p in Moonpie and Moops), but perhaps the p is a coincidence. But if it is, so can be the "oo" vowel, which leaves me with no way to choose between the 2 options you gave.

I only think of "Phineus" spelled with a ph.
