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?

There were a couple in my class at school along with four Susans........ I'll leave you to guess my age😂 I'd say not due a comeback yet!

I like it! I've only known nice ones. But I also know a teenaged Susan, a preschooler Grey, and babies called Vincent and Judy.

my mum wanted to call me Susan, I’m glad she didn’t, no offence to any Susans! I guess it’s not ready for a comeback, if ever 😬, it’s along the same lines as Kevin, Keith, etc

The youngest one I know is 39. I think it’s got a couple of generations to go before it gets a comeback.

It's a fairly common surname... so setting them up for a lifetime of being called surname graham and having to correct them. Graeme would not have the same issue.

It's a nonce's name.

What a stupid comment

I actually really like it.

My grandad was a Graeme. In fact he thought he was a Graham until he needed to get a copy of his birth certificate to go to grammar school and discovered the registrar had actually called him Graeme, so then he adopted that spelling.

I know it's dated but I think it has a lovely sound.

The youngest Grahams I know are mid to late 30s.
