For a boy? Grayson isn’t an option...

I really like it :0)

pinkyredrose · 28/08/2018 00:10

Pretty horrid.

Ameliaa · 28/08/2018 00:12

Hmm I’m not a fan of the name grey as it doesn’t sound very happy and rather sad :/

lecossaise · 28/08/2018 00:13

Only if your last name could never be a first name.

And even then, I wouldn't, it's setting them up to be a bit... dull and sad, isn't it?

fourplusonemore · 28/08/2018 00:15

I love it!

Quangot · 28/08/2018 00:45

Not keen, sorry.

ViserionTheDragon · 28/08/2018 00:55

Nope, sorry.

MarthasGinYard · 28/08/2018 00:56

It's what we all a Graham at work

Pretty awful

Tutlefru · 28/08/2018 00:56

Nooooo

Aintnothingbutaheartache · 28/08/2018 00:59

Noppety nope. It sounds horrible, sorry.
Especially if your surname is Pants

Peachbubble · 28/08/2018 03:23

I don't like it, sorry. Sounds like the shortening for Graham.

moredoll · 28/08/2018 03:41

More like a nn. But I do like it.

BigGreenOlives · 28/08/2018 03:43

No.

Used to denote boring ‘the grey man’, ‘go grey rock’ etc.

NameChangedNow · 28/08/2018 03:56

Sounds very American.

woodfires · 28/08/2018 03:59

I quite like it but it does sound like a nn for Graham.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 28/08/2018 12:21

It's a 'no' from me, sorry.

Sophronia · 28/08/2018 15:42

Dull and boring

BigBlueBubble · 28/08/2018 15:47

If someone said their name was Grey I’d probably assume they said Graham.

FfionFlorist · 28/08/2018 16:29

Not my taste at all. Plus, I've heard of three baby Greys in the last couple of months, you may think you're being edgy and unique but everyone has a similar idea.

Shadow1234 · 08/09/2018 19:29

Not bad, but does sound like graham shortened down to gray.

Would klay or shay be an option?

GimbleInTheWabe · 08/09/2018 19:31

Ahh another of these.. cute and unique for a baby, ridiculous for a grown adult.

OliveBranchManager · 08/09/2018 19:31

I quite like the sound of it but not the meaning. What about Gregory with nick name Grey, that is much more substantial and less bland.

Labradoodliedoodoo · 08/09/2018 19:33

Guy is similar or Giles
