Greysen

MLWCDW

So I plan on spelling my sons name Greysen...I haven't seen it spelled that way anywhere but I want people to pronounce it this way not GRAY SON....think I'll have any luck?

I read it as "GREY-sen" instead of -son

No, I think he'll end up being called "Grey-sin" by almost everyone but you. Are you totally opposed to spelling it Greyson?

This.  I don't think the spelling will change the pronunciation in this case.  Also, Greysen looks feminine to me, I much prefer Greyson.

You really hear a big difference between Greysen and Greyson?  Do people speak very slowly where you live?

I am not a fan of the name but, I much prefer it to be spelled Greyson.

nope everyone will pronounce it the same way

I hear no difference in how they are said. I prefer the Grayson spelling since it is going to be pronounced the same either way.

I think it will be pronounced the same way no matter how you spell it, but definitely agree that the -son spelling is more masculine. I love the name though. I had it in mind for a boy, but DH nixed it LOL.

Go with Grayson. Cute name. It adds nothing to give it a funky spelling... other than a long life of your LO having to say "No, it's actually spelled..."

This. This is my nephews name (and spelling) and we pronounce it gray-sin.

This.

I've seen it spelled Grayson, Greyson, and Gracyn (girl)...and they all sound the same to me.

I prefer Greyson or Grayson.  I don't really think people would pronounce it different (especially where I live).

When I say Greyson, I say Grey-sin. Same as I would say Greysen. Greyson just looks more masculine, so I'd spell it that way

I have a Greyson and toyed w/ the spelling of Grayson. But since Grey is a family name we went w/ Greyson.

Having said that whenever we go anywhere and people ask his name they always ask to spell it. Alot assume it's Grayson since that's what most people use.

So if you use Greysen be prepared to have to spell it for everyone. Just saying.
