Grayson

[ValiumQueen]

We may have found a name at last. DH has a similar first name, and it means 'son of the grey haired' which is apt as we are both ancient.

Any thoughts oh wise but brutally honest ones

[MordecaiAndTheRigbys]

It's very American I think so it might work better in the US. Plus if you or others shorten it to grey, people are going to think you are a fan of the fifty shades shit.

[Aspiemum2]

It makes me think of revenge! But I love it

[TreacleChops]

i like it shortened to Grey but like Morde said about the 50 shades shite!!

[Bluestocking]

I don't particularly like surnamey first names. In this case, I would imagine it was in honour of Grayson Perry, transvestite potter, Turner Prize winner and all-round superstar. But that would be no bad thing as GP is a national treasure.

[MrSunshine]

The only Grayson I know is an American woman.

Don't like it, sorry.

[ValiumQueen]

I was a bit concerned about the fifty shades connection too, but can honestly say his conception had nothing to do with it!

aspiemum Why revenge?

[SirEdmundFrillary]

I like it because of Grayson Perry, who speaks a lot of sense.

[Aspiemum2]

Isn't that one of the characters names? Or maybe I'm thinking of the wrong show

Still love the name though

[ValiumQueen]

Never heard of GP, but he went to Portsmouth Poly so he must be a cool dude.

[ValiumQueen]

Never heard of revenge. Just googled. Family name apparently.

[Badgerina]

I like it. Grayson Perry is indeed very cool. His teddy bear is called Mr Measels - also an awesome name.

[Ilovedaintynuts]

I think it's really horrible, sorry. I think of Larry.

[Newtothisstuff]

I love it ! A good friend of mine has a son named Grayson !!

[YouMayLogOut]

Not for me, sorry.

[ValiumQueen]

I forgot about Larry!

[BananaBubbles]

Its horrid. Perhaps fine as a middle name,but very unattractive as a first.

[ilovesprouts]

one of my fb pals has a baby called grayson hes cute

[Teapot13]

I think it's very trendy, and it also reminds me of the old He-Man cartoons.

There are loads of names for people having children when they're older -- what about Isaac? (I'm sure you're not that old.)

[Pancakeflipper]

No... I don't know why It'snot the Larry thing. Perhaps I feel drab when I say it "Grey son...." It doesn't sound like a happy name.#

Nice name for a grey horse though.

[mrsbugsywugsy]

I don't like it, it sounds like a surname

I would assume it was after Grayson Perry as it's the only time I've ever heard the name

[lljkk]

I first heard of this as a Girl name, and I still don't like it. I suppose you could do worse.

[NapaCab]

It's popular here in the US and getting more popular. A friend's son is called Grayson and it suits him. I think it grows on you after a while so if you like it go ahead. With the way US trends tend to cross the ocean, it might be more common in a few years time in the UK too.

[scarlettsmummy2]

I like it. Different but not tacky.

[ValiumQueen]

Bit of a marmite response, that I quite like actually. Thank you for your honesty.

teapot that made me laugh! Not quite that old, but getting there!

We are not 100% decided, and may well wait to see what he looks like.

[YankeeAlphaBravoUniform]

I know of a baby - ok, a man now - called Brown.

Compared to that, Grayson is colourful and fun!
