My husband and I can not decide on a baby name. But we have found one we Love!!!!! Here's the issue it's Grayson. Our surname is Gray. Would it be ridiculous to name a child Grayson Gray, (middle name to be decided). Please help

Well, the poor kid might care.

Completely ridiculous.

It sounds silly I guess but is not new

Magnus Magnussun??

Nope sorry you can't do that to your child! What is it about it that you like - maybe we can help you find something similar

It shows rather a lack of imagination, as much as anything else. The son of Mr Gray will be called... Grayson. Right.

Blooming typical to actually agree on a name that just doesn't fit!

I have said that it doesn't work. But our friends have convinced my husband that it's "a strong name" . I think it's a "wrong name".

It'd be really ridiculous.

Like being called Will Williams or John Johnson.

He'd get the piss taken out of him, no doubt about that.

Oh please don't do that to the wee dote...

SumAndSubstance · 02/09/2017 22:28

Of course it would be ridiculous!

Sequence · 02/09/2017 22:28

Another no here, sorry.

Threeandabit · 02/09/2017 22:28

Unfortunately, it doesn't work with your surname.

What about André or Gregor?

PrincessPlod · 02/09/2017 22:27

No way. Poor kid.

Laniakea · 02/09/2017 22:27

yes it would be ridiculous

mooneyboo · 02/09/2017 22:26

I actually find that quite cool. Could imagine him getting called Gray-gray as a pet name.
It might raise a few eyebrows but if you like it then who cares.

sonlypuppyfat · 02/09/2017 22:26

Go on I dare you

Twinkletwinkle4 · 02/09/2017 22:26

I actually quite like it!

Spam88 · 02/09/2017 22:25

It would be pretty ridiculous yes. Sorry 😬
