Do you like the name Grey?

Would you say it's more suited to a girl or a boy?

Only know one person with this name and they are transitioning. As a baby name, it's a little too non-gender-specific for my liking, but that's a personal choice of course.

Definitely a boys name.

Graeme nn Grey /Gray wouid work

I know a Greyson nicknamed Grey.

Why can't colours be used as names? Lila, Scarlett, Indigo etc are all colours!

I would assume a boy. Short for Greyson or Graham it's ok.

Grey is a somewhat depressing colour associated with dullness and drabness so to my mind it's different to Scarlett or Indigo which are bright and vivid.

What colour is Lila?
There is Violet as well of course.

Sunflower321 · 13/09/2018 14:08

Sorry Lila is lilac but in German Blush

BevBrook · 13/09/2018 14:16

Oh, I see! I should have thought of lilac since I was thinking about violet.

I can't imagine calling a middle aged adult Grey.
Graham with Grey as a nickname maybe

Grreat · 13/09/2018 16:14

I really like Grey for a boy
I'd probably assume that it was short for Graham as I know a couple of Grahams who use Gray
