What do people think? I'm liking it more and more. Cute but cool for when he's older. I have a Luke already.

Thanks in advance!

I have a Griffin that is called Griff by his mates. I think it is a fab name - not that I'm biased! Grin

Alas Smith and Jones is what springs to mind. Says something about how old I am Blush. But I actually really like the name Smile

I can see Griff becoming a MN fave but I'm afraid I am not a fan.... at all.

Least of all with a child who has quite a traditional and very nice but NORMAL name.

I'm going against the grain to say I don't like it. At all. It sounds like "grip" which isn't a name. In fact Griff doesn't sound like a name either.

Thanks for the feedback, seems really positive on the whole. I'm not too worried that it sounds like grip, I think ppl know the difference between a name and a word. I think we'd go with the ff spelling but could be open to other versions

I had a friend called Griff (short for Griffith) and it was a lovely name for a lovely man.

I am Welsh, although not Welsh speaking. The Griff I knew was also Welsh but lived in England.

FAB name.
