Wow what an argument!  Impressive indeed.  However, I must present a purely
emotional appeal for the more common (in my experience) spelling of
"Westy".

It is just this:  Westy looks better to me than Westie.  I'm not sure why.
Is the y a more aesthetically pleasing shape?  Perhaps.  Perhaps it is some
streak of peer pressure (I saw a bunch of y's before I ever saw an ie).
Perhaps I'm just mad.

Too much time on my hands,

Hmm, that capital Y makes even more difference, don't you think?
