James is my most favourite name ever. Not keen on Grant but that was the option!

There's nothing here to go on? Boys or girls?

Andrewsteve · 23/02/2024 17:47

Its a name poll for boy

You can't beat David IMO. Sexy, yet has gravitas.

I like either James Grant or Grant Nicholas. I think Grant Name sounds like sentence. "Hey have you granted James this thing"... or Or "We name this grant Grant Nicholas"
I voted for James Grant, but would also like Nicholas Grant.

James is a strong, timeless classic.

Grant is truly terrible. Unless it's as a tribute to a loved one I would avoid like the plague. Even if is I personally prefer the middle name slot to honour a loved one, rather than recycling the same banes within families. In that case James Grant would work well.

Wow such a passion against a name that's been around forever and no it's not an honor name

I've voted Grant Christopher but actually I would have the names the other way round. Christopher Grant sounds far better.

ForensicFlossy · 23/02/2024 18:36

James is classic.
Grant is awful and sounds like a surname

@Andrewsteve well then why didn't u say for a boy in the original post? I'm not a mind reader for all I knew u we're voting on a girls name

Onelife2024 · 23/02/2024 19:20

James Grant is a lovely name!

I also love Christopher Grant and Nicholas Grant.

I’m not keen on Grant as a first name personally.

Don't be ridiculous

CharlieBoo · 23/02/2024 20:55

James Christopher would be my vote. James Grant sounds like a surname (actually know someone called this from school).

James is one of my most favourite boys name, you can’t go wrong..

ButtonMoonBlanketSky · 23/02/2024 20:58

Nicholas James. Really don't like Grant.

At the end of the day it's totally your choice, if you love it enough to be annoyed when someone says it's terrible maybe it's the one for you? We all have different tastes and opinions. Mine is that James is far far nicer than Grant (you did ask).

ODFOx · 24/02/2024 00:38

I'm on the app so I can't see any options or any way to vote.
Could someone please share the options? I love a name thread 😁

RogueFemale · 24/02/2024 02:46

Can't vote for any of them as I don't like the name Grant.

TheFreaksShallInheritTheEarth · 24/02/2024 03:28

Not keen on Grant, even though it's a family name for me! It's a bit of a characterless name, and not very nice to say.
You can't go wrong with James, it's a good, solid name

PivotPivotmakingmargaritas · 24/02/2024 03:35

I voted for James as I’m with the others and dislike Grant. Mostly because in Australia it’s pronounced horribly as Gr-ant as opposed to the nicer sounding G-rant

I think Christopher or James as a first name is beautiful

Bluegetaniums · 24/02/2024 09:49

I can't see any names? Where do you vote?

I'm using the App btw

Previousreligion · 25/02/2024 07:36

I like Grant and I wonder if you prefer it as there are more options including it. I voted Grant James.
