Thoughts on the name Gray for a boy?

gingin · May 2010

I like it but trying to get a feel for what others think of the name. I tend to like unusual names and we don't want to end up naming our LO something we like but everyone else will think is weird....

I usually don't like names that are too too unusual, but I love Gray. I've know both a man and a woman with this name and I think it's great.

Eh, I don't like it. I'm all for unique names but Gray just doesn't seem like a name at all.

I like it. My friend wanted to name her lo Gray, but her dh wanted something more substantial so they named him Grayson. They call him Gray for a nn.

We actually considered Greyson for a while. I don't know why we didn't go with it, actually.

I like Grayson but only Gray as a nickname

Grayson actually is a really good option... hadn't thought of that. Thanks ladies.

It's nms, but alright. I have a friend of a friend naming her son Grayson Jack.

I LOVE that name! I have good memories associated with it because I have a wonderful friend with that name Big Smile

How about Grayson and your NN for him could be Gray?

Gray is nms, but grayson isnt so bad...

I am a kinder teacher and have never heard that name before. I say its good because even though it's different, it's not crazy different... I've taught kids named Princess, Ceezar, Blessed, Given, Elvis, and loads more.

To each his own! If you love it, forget what everyone else thinks!

This.

Alsi reminds me of the gray man.

I love it! Gray was actually one of my top 3 boy names until I found out my close friend has had Greyson picked out for her boy since they were coming up for names when she was pregnant with her daughter 3 years ago. Now they're pregnant again so I guess it's out. Oh well.... you can still use it!

This. Spelled either Grayson or Greyson.

gray is a color..

ladyllr · May 2010

I love the name Gray- though I may be biased because one of my favorite 1st grade students this year has this name and he is an absolute sweetheart!

Tatstar · May 2010

I like that name. I knew a guy named Grey in high school. I think for a boy I would spell it Grey and for a girl I would spell it Gray.

I really like it! I also love the name Grayson/Greyson with Gray as a nickname.

rregneir · May 2010

I think Gray is a cute nickname, but I really like Grayson.

I LOVE Gray! Grayson for a full name. I really wanted to name our son this, but our last name starts with a G and it just didn't sound right together.

Never thought about it, but I love Grayson, Gray for short. For some reason, it's not my fave if spelled with an 'e' but maybe b/c then Grey looks a lot like Greg.

I love it! I grew up with a boy named Gray

I can only imagine the crazy names and even crazier things you must see and hear as a kindergarten teacher. I had a wonderful k-garten teacher myself, such a fun grade!
