I don't like it, especially spelled that way. I also just don't like most names that end in "-son," and to top it off Grayson is the name of a really, really redneck town near where I grew up, so I think of that.
I think it's pretty nice...I wouldn't say overly popular- just becoming more heard of. I taught a boy named Grayson a few years ago- he was a very quiet, polite, intelligent little guy (at 8) so I have + feelings about it.
(I have seen/heard of Gracyn/Gracin for a girl....but not IRL- only on boards)
I think it is a cute name for a boy...don't know any with the name so no bad associations.
"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasured day you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart...let me hold you while I may."
Why do people associate it with the Nanny Diaries? The little boy's name in that was Grayer. I like that name a lot but Greyson just sounds like Grace when it's said in conversation without the second syllable pronounced heavily.

I believe it is increasing in popularity but I wouldn't call it popular.
Things I associate with the name: the color gray, subdued, bland, dignified.

Definitely like the name, though I prefer the spelling Grayson. I think it would be great for either gender!
I agree. They sound soo last namey and son names are very trendy right now. ?
I agree most people think I am saying my daughters name is Gracelynn that is why we call her Gray for short it is different from Grace that way.
