Is this too surnamey...?

DC2 is due on Saturday and we're still stumped for a boys name. Frontrunner is Grayson, prob with nn Gray, which I like - but is Grayson strong or just a bit too surname-y?

I think it sounds pretty good with our surname, which rhymes with Mays. If you think not - can you suggest any good alternatives? To give an idea, we also like Daniel, Stanley and quite like Nathaniel (esp nn Nate).

We quite like unusual names if they feel right ie. are going for Indigo if it's a girl (and don't tell me not to!)

I am nor keen tbh but think Griffin nn Griff sounds much better with your surname (and I know one about 3yrs and he is v cute)! Good luck Smile

I really like Graysin but it would get shortened to Gray so Gray Mays.

We had a Dd but if she was a DS we wanted Griff (griffin on bc). We felt that we would need to feel very brave to us it so had Travis as a reserve incase fear overcame ys (we live in a Sophie...Kian...Jayden area)

Thanks for all the congrats. I must say it's wonderful to finally have the name decided though i do kind of miss the forum searching!.
thegreylady I'm going to google Indigo's Star now - could be a good 1st bday present.
Good luck with baby naming everyone.
