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

Makes me think of Larry Grayson. So not keen I'm afraid.

I really like it. It was on my shortlist for dc3, who turned out to be dd.

I dont like it, sorry . It's too surnamey for me.

I also know a Brown- old school teacher! Lovely man.

I love it. There's a Grayson in cougar town.

I'm mostly thinking of Larry Grayson but that might just be my age.

Personally I don't like surnames as first names, but that aside there's nothing particularly awful about it.

Another Grayson Perry fan here. Go for it!

I quite like it actually - Grey for short.

Not really my style as I like old-fashioned names but this one is ok.

I also really like Grover. DH said no though.

Hi VQ I quite like it and the American surnames as first names thing is becoming more popular over here.

Babies I know who have been born recently include Keaton, Cole, Riley, Lincoln.

Like it, it was on our list for DS2, though I prefer Gratian (grey-shen).

My DNephew is called Graydon which I think is very nice. Grayson is ok but getting extremely popular.

.

hearts it is the 'popular' bit I was worrying about. I don't think it will be the next 'Jack' though from the majority of the replies.

Why is naming a boy so hard? Girls are easy in comparison.

Thank you all for your honest input.

Ooh, I like it! Not sure why, I just do. It sounds very....distinguished.

Thank you dessie I must admit when I imagine a Grayson he is tall, distinguished looking, very gentlemanly etc. I therefore think it would be cute on a little one.

You're right, it sounds nice on a wee one and an adult. Do it!

Might have quite liked Grey until the fifty shades. People will say, was he conceived after the first chapter then?

Grayson is popular?? I have never met one.

I love the name Grayson and it would be my next DS's name if there were to be one.

Gray / Grey is a lovely name. It's the name of the husband in The Razor's Edge by Somerset Maugham (for those of a more literary bent than 50 shades of shite)

I can't see anyone making a link to 50 shades of grey at all to be honest. Hopefully those books will have gone away by the time he would be in school!
