Graham

[BiscoffSundae]

Not considering using it but heard it today and realised I haven’t heard a child called graham in years! Anyone know a little graham, thoughts on it? Is it due a comeback?

I wouldn't say it's due a come back. As much as I love Graham Norton there is no way I'd inflict that name on a child!

I know a Graham who is 15. Not so little bit still young.

It's quite a sad little name.

I don't think Graham is quite ready for a comeback yet. Probably needs another generation.

No, not Graham x

Arthur is a favourite x

I've had so many next door neighbours called Graham. They've all had busybody tendencies! I haven't heard of any young ones though.

It's quite an unattractive name. I would lump it with names like Judy, Clive, Vincent, and Brenda that I would happily never see 'comeback'.

I think the Graeme spelling is nicer, but it's a good name; classic without being overdone. Well due a comeback, in my opinion.

The name Graham makes me think of a 65year old driving instructor who likes to wear knitted cardigans in all weathers. Definitely not due a comeback.

I like it but then I'm over the hill.

It's the name of a certain generation and has not come back into fashion yet - in a similar vein to Colin and Brian...
It's a good, strong Scottish name though, and it doesn't sound that bad if you dissociate it from image of man in his sixties with a cardigan and slippers. I think it will come back at some point.

It literally means 'gravelly homestead'/ grey home. Who wants to be named grey? 😂

It's funny I was only thinking of this name last night. I was thinking of a child from the 90s called it and thinking it was quite an old fashioned name for a child even then. I don't think it's due a comeback just yet, as others have said it's a very dated 'grey' sort of name.

My friends Guinea Pig is called Graham!

Sorry that's a lot of 'thinking' in my post

Too early. Like Eileen on previous thread.
Give it 15 years

Unless you are Scottish, if you must

Someone said recently that once names are comedy pet names they will be the next wave to be revived. I think it will be. Just Not Yet.

Graham is an old man name but what about Graeme? Is that a Scottish way to spell it?

I like it but I'm Scottish. And obviously prefer Graeme. It's a good solid tradition name.

I think it's awful. Smarmy and nerdy. I"ve known a couple of awful Grahams which doesn't help. What about Greg or Gray?

😮

I know a Graeme. Absolutely inspirational, scarily intelligent, a role model, awe inspiring, and quite hot to boot.

Even with that's, Graham/Graeme isn't due a come back

I love it.

DH vetoed it.

There’s a young Graeme in my family, he’d be about 9 or 10 now. He’s in Canada though so don’t know if it’s less dated there.

Ive never liked it
