I don't think it would be hard to get people to use your pronunciation until they see the name in writing. Then you have to go through the whole ordeal of reiterating that it's not FIN-ee-əs, it's fin-AY. It doesn't seem like it would be worth the aggravation to me and said bearer would have to go through that his whole life since Phineas with the FIN-ee-əs pronunciation is becoming more well known.
