Help baby name problems!

[Hydrangea28]

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

It would be pretty ridiculous yes. Sorry 😬

I actually quite like it!

Go on I dare you

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.

yes it would be ridiculous

No way. Poor kid.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work with your surname.

What about André or Gregor?

Another no here, sorry.

Of course it would be ridiculous!

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

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.

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".

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

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

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 sounds silly I guess but is not new

Magnus Magnussun??

Completely ridiculous.

"It might raise a few eyebrows but if you like it then who cares."

Well, the poor kid might care.

David Davis?

I used to have clients (elderly) called William Williamson & John Johnson .

Lovely gents but I did think it showed a certain lack of imagination of the behalf of their parents!

I think it sounds great!

It's very American actor sounding.

American actor sounding is not a good thing.

No from me, it's awful & he'll get teased.

I had a young girl next to me on the maternity ward who called her child Donald after her Dad which was all lovely until she told me his surname was McDonald (Not his real name but same idea).

Even the midwife remarked on how "unusual" it was. But she kept stating that since he had his Dad's surname she wanted to honour her family with his first name.

I often wondered what he thinks of it now he's a teenager or if someone managed to convince her to change it before registering.

Is that honestly a serious question?

Oh Donald McDonald is just fucking stupid. Poor kid
