Looking for honest opinions on Grant, Grayson, Brody and Jude or suggestions for boys names of similar style. Brother to Phoebe.

You have really split the crowd here op! I like all your choices actually, and I also think Sebastian goes well with Phoebe. FWIW I really like Grayson! Less keen on Grant.

Jude and Sebastian go well with Phoebe.

Grant is a horrible name. Like Nigel.

Grayson just makes me think of Grayson Perry, one of the biggest creeps we’re currently giving air time to, in the name of art.

All dire

Notellinganyone · 07/02/2025 11:17

Jude -the others are awful!

Grant - bloke in EastEnders
Grayson - awful
Brody - not great
Jude - don't like it,but it's the best of a bad bunch

I like Phoebe and Sebastian is better than your shortlist, as long as you are ok with Seb.

Grant - awful.
Grayson - even more awful
Brody - meaning ditch or muddy place. Ok name but the meaning is awful.

Jude - nice name.

Not a fan of any of them but Grayson is the absolute pits.

BuntyBeaufort · 07/02/2025 13:20

I know a couple of little Graysons and think it's awful. Not just the association with a huge middle aged man in a pink frilly frock with hair bows and Mary Janes but, as I'm old, also Larry Grayson, late comedian and tv presenter who was as camp as a row of tents.

stickybear · 07/02/2025 13:25

I know a little Grayson, shortened to Gray, and quite like it! How about Harrison?

Knowsley · 07/02/2025 14:19

Jenson gets shortened to Jens, so it might end up being Grays (Grace)

bluebunnys · 07/02/2025 14:25

I only like Brody and think it goes well with Phoebe

I don't like the shortenings of Sebastian, Seb (sebaceous) or Basty (bastard) at all

Jude is the German word for Jew

Lyn348 · 07/02/2025 14:29

Grant is too old for child, Brody is too American for me and i don't like Greyson at all. Jude or Sebastian definitely.

ginasevern · 07/02/2025 14:39

From your list I would pick Grant or Jude, probably Grant in preference. Brody will be the one to date the most and I really don't like Grayson at all.

2chocolateoranges · 07/02/2025 14:45

Only one I like is Brody but I prefer the Brodie spelling.

We have a Brodie in the family, he's in his 20s.

WaltzingWaters · 07/02/2025 14:50

I love Brody, but not sure it goes with Phoebe very well.
love Jude too, but very popular at the moment. But goes well with Phoebe.

Not a fan of Grant. Grayson and Sebastian both fine.

AllFurCoatAndFrillyKnickers · 07/02/2025 14:51

Definitely Sebastian or Jude.
I'm in my 60s, so Grayson makes me think of Larry and 'Shut than door!'.

mathanxiety · 07/02/2025 15:29

I only like Jude from your list. It's the only one that goes well with Phoebe too.

mathanxiety · 07/02/2025 15:29

Sebastian also goes really well with Phoebe. Nice name too.

KayEmAy · 07/02/2025 16:16
