Clearing up the Confusion

Okay guys, I am awfully sorry to be so darn confusing. I thought I had cleared up any name confusion a while ago. Turns out I only created more. My son's name is Landon Brent Bowen. That is Landon with an ON not EN.
Here's the deal. In my mind for the last 3 months I have thought that if we named our son Landon it would be spelled L-A-N-D-E-N. Come to find out my husband (and mothers) felt differently. They believed Landon should be spelled with an O-N. Of course, I had to cave because of the peer pressure, even though I believed in my core that it should be an E-N.
So, here is where the confusion comes. Because I had, in my mind, Landon's name with an E-N, everytime I wrote/typed his name it was Landen. In my last post Brandon caught my mistake and pointed it out. Of course, he only caught it once and so every other time it was spelled my way. I apologize.
I don't expect you to take sides or tell me which way you prefer. It is already on the birth certificate (yes, I do know that they can be changed). I am just writing to let everyone else know the "correct" way to spell my son's name. I will probably continue to spell it "wrong" for the next few months... Aah motherhood, it is sucking away all my brain cells...
