I got the other spellings from a baby name website, so I didn't think they were misspelled.
Gavin has 13 variant forms: Gavan, Gaven, Gavino, Gavyn, Gavynn, Gawain, Gawaine, Gawayn, Gawayne, Gawaine, Gavyn, Gwayn and Gwayne.

Yes, it is a derivative of Gawain, so ok I could maybe using that spelling if you're Welsh or something. But yeah, the other spellings are just somebody's way of trying to make their child's name you-neek.
I have a common name but with an unique spelling. Trust me, it gets very very very old correcting people on the spelling and the pronunciation of my name. I hate it and have even thought about having my name lega
You are welcome. Just remember that Gavin is the most common spelling so a lot of people will spell it that way. If yiu went with Gavan, he would constantly be asked "So is it pronounced Gavin or Gav-van ?

Re: Gavan, Gaven or Gavin?
Well, only one of them is spelled correctly.
So I guess it depends on whether you want to misspell your son's name on purpose. Why would that even be an option?
