Just Grey?

What do you think about the name Grey on its own? Would you spell it Grey or Gray? I'm not keen on the full versions e.g Graham, does Grey works as a standalone name? I love it but I don't want to let my hormones make a silly decision!

Grayson is lovely (Gray). 😄

Grayson is the name (surname) of a school bully in a TV show - can't remember which one, but it would put me off.

I prefer Graham to Grey/Gray, and Graham isn't an inspiring name!

Not keen.

Gray as a colour has rather boring connotations.

And I can never remember whether I'm supposed to spell it Grey or Gray. I can't imagine finding it any easier to keep that straight if it was being used as a first name.

I think Grey is becoming more popular!! I know of a few in my area!

I used to like Gray, but I would not choose it now. And I think Grayson is awful (although I love Grayson Perry).

It could be short for Grady
