    I have no idea which is "correct," but I'd have to pick Greyson. If he ever wanted to go by Grey, that looks better than Gray.

    I don't really think it matters, but Greyson looks nicer to me.

    Maybe I'm weird, but it would depend on the spelling of the last name for me.

    Gray is the "American" way of spelling and Grey is the "British" way of spelling the color.  I mean, the colour, haha.  :-)  I think Gray looks....softer.  Grey looks more manly.  ???  Not sure why.

    So THAT is where the two spellings cf gray/grey ome from!! I have been wondering that my whole life and why I couldn't figure out if one was a misspelling. I guess neither one is a misspelling.

    OP, I prefer Grayson. I looked it up on ssa.gov, and Grayson is the more common spelling. (Ranked 122 in 2010. Greyson was 249.)

    I spell the colour as 'grey' but when it comes to the name I prefer Grayson.

    This name is starting to become very popular in my area. One of the girls on my summer softball team name her son this 6 years ago but they spelled it Graison...

    If I had to pic between your options I'd pick GRAYSON.

    I have a Greyson. Always liked the name but wanted to spell it w/ an "a". But being that Grey is a family name we went w/ the "e" spelling.
