Briar, Ford or Grey for boys names?

[Fortunesrocks]

Which would you pick?

I thought Briar was a girls name- which I quite like.

I like Grayson or Graham for a boy with the nn Gray.

Not keen on Ford.

No, no and no, would be my reaction to those 3 options.

Briar is a girls name and just no to the other 2

Out of the 3 I’d pick Briar but would hate it if people confused it with Brian.

Ford is the best of the bunch.. Briar makes me think of Briar Rose. I find the colour grey a bit dull.

Ford is great! Strong and unusual. I have it on my list for a boy.

I absolutely love the name briar and it’s on my short list but for a girl. I’d go with Grey of those 3 but much prefer greyson

@JaJaDingDong

Why can't people just choose from actual names for their kids? It's not like there's only a limited selection.

One of our au pairs told me that in Czech they have to use approved names. You can't just make a name up. I approve of this!

So do I!

Briar - I'd think he was a girl. Brian?
Ford - it worked for Ford Maddox Ford, but I wouldn't use it.
Grey - Red is a lot better.

Poor child. They’d be even called Escort or fifty with the last two. Probably Rose with the first.
Then you’ll complain they’re being bullied.
What’s wrong with Hugo, Richard, Christopher or Phillip?

I love grey! It’s on my list. People who automatically think of 50 shades of grey are weird in my opinion

I like Ford but yeah.... Prefect or Cortina

I like Gray (not Grey) but it’s quite somber. Don’t agree about the 50 Shades thing.

Briar is a girls’ name; I know two, both Autumn babies.

People who call their children the literal colour of dust and rainclouds are weird in mine.

I love Ford. This is what I would have chosen if I’d had a boy, but just had a girl. Never seen anyone else suggest it before!
I don’t think of the car, I think of it as a surname type name. Like Mason, Harrison, Cooper etc. Same feel.
My friend just had a little Grey, really suits him.

Ford Prefect!!!

Briar is a girl's name.

Sorry but they are all bad. If I had to choose one I guess grey as short for graham

None of them. I would pick an actual name.

Gray was my great grandads name, I like it

Grey is the least worst of a bad selection. The only Briar I know is female.

If I absolutely had to choose it would be Briar but I really don’t like any of them.

@JaJaDingDong They're not even that out there of names. Not everyone wants there child to be the 3rd James or Sophie in their class.

I like Briar for a girl. Quite like Gray (spelt like the name not the colour). Dislike Ford.

I have no problem with them being unconventional names. The problem is that they're not very nice names.

I really like Briar but probably would prefer it for a girl.

Briar is nice. Not sure it rolls off the tongue though. I don’t mind Ford but I’d probably want a long version too. Grey - no.
