Nicholas Grant?

I think I'd keep Grant as a middle name. All the other first names are good.

Can't use that one but thanks

I'd for James first and Christopher second (Kit for short) but I wouldn't use Grant as a first name.

I think the most harmonious to me is Christopher Grant, but the surname that this name would go with could completely change that harmony... so it's very hard to say without that info or maybe the amount of syllables in the surname.

Two syllables

I'd not use Grant as the first name. Christopher Grant or James I'd go with

I really like James, quite like Nicholas, and Christopher is OK. Don't particularly like Grant and I definitely wouldn't use it as the first name, (OK as a middle or surname) but I'm guessing it has a particular significance to you.

Christopher Grant

James Grant or Christopher Grant are my faves from your list. I like a short strong middle name sound

Why don’t people like the name Grant? Seems quite strong and underused. I like it a lot.

I love the name Grant. Grant Christopher is my favourite

Why I don't particularly like the name Grant:

Grant. Grunt. Thuggish character that used to be on EastEnders. Seems a bit dated.

Dislike of surnames used as first names in general. Because they're always a bit ambiguous, you know how on some official forms they write Surname, First name. Feels like the person hasn't got a real first name, but 2 surnames. Why, when there are so many lovely names available?

Also Grant is not a very mellifluous sound. Very short and basic. Dislike of names beginning with Gr... in general. Grrr.., grim, grumpy, grizzled, grey, grime, anGRy, it's a harsh sound in general. Although I admit Grace has grown on me in recent years, probably because of the lovely meaning.

I don't really hate it though, there are worse names out there. Fine as a middle.

Grant is a bit - aggressive sounding? Depends on your accent of course but in mine, it’s a nasally bark. Might sound nicer in accents with less flat vowels.

James Grant, for me, presuming James Nicholas isn’t an option or it’d be listed.

I like it too but I guess people tend to like what's popular and reject what's not

Interesting
What about the ratings?

Thank you I love it too

James Grant is my favourite

Christopher Grant is also nice

Sorry, Grant as a first name isn’t to my taste

Christopher Grant but don’t like Grant as a first name. Only because I can’t imagine a baby being called Grant, it sounds rough.

Christopher Grant is my favourite, then James Grant.

The reason I'm less keen on Grant as a first name is that to me it's a word rather than a name IYSWIM, eg to get a grant from the council.

Christopher Grant nn Christy perhaps

Too many Jameses

Grant as a first name is not due a revival for a good couple of decades - like Dean

The same.

I don’t like Grant. If it’s a nod to a dear family member who you feel like you must honour I would definitely make it the middle name. James, you’ll probably find 50% of the nursery Dads are called James and they’ll all turn round when you yell it across a birthday party. You don’t hear it much on little ones though. Christopher is nice. I know a few small ones but Kit seems to be the common diminutive these days.

Christopher Grant sounds best

Not keen on the ‘Grant as a first name’ combinations

James Grant 2nd. 7/10
Grant Nicholas 3rd. 4/10
Grant Christopher 4th 2/10
Christopher Grant 1st. 10/10

I'd go by what sounds best with the surname. James Smith, Grant Smith or Christopher/Kit/Chris Smith
