We are 12 days till induction day and still have not decided on a name. It seems like we have narrowed it down to three options but Im open to new suggestions. DH and I just can't seem to agree, its either we go with his choice or mine and I hate that someone is just going to have to give in (honestly it will likely be him). Here are our choices
Reid (my choice)
Grayden (DH choice)- we liked Grayer which I know most people on here dislike but it bothered me how often it would be mispronounced etc. I like Gray but DH likes a name that can be shortened into other names/nn etc so he came up with this. I also am not a big fan of the Aiden/Brayden/Jayden names so it bothers me this name is following that trend.
Ford- a new name we are both mullion over
We have a very long last name, ten letters ending with -mann. I like the idea of having a short, one syllable first name to go with such a long last name.

I really don't like the other 2 or even consider them legit names.
but Reid is really nice!
Reid or Grayson.
Grayden is awful, Ford is a last name.
Reid. Miles miles miles about the other two.
If you really want to do a Gray- name, what about Grayson? I am really not a fan of it either but it's so so much better than Grayden.
ETA- after reading the other comments, I r
Reid if I have to pick one. NMS but Grayden is a made up name and just like Aiden, Brayden, Jayden, etc. etc. Ford is not a first name.
Grant?
Luke?
I strongly dislike Grayden, it just doesn't sound nice at all. In your particular situation, I really like just Gray as a first name. It's unusual, but not unheard of. It sounds strong. Another suggestion would be Graham, Grant, or Grayson nn Gray.&nbs
I agree with the consensus of the board: Reid is the best of the three. Go with Grayson over Grayden if you really like Gray as a nm.
My first reaction to Ford was to think of the book Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Ford Pr

I do not mind Grayson
From this list I like Reid.
Has he considered Grayson?
Graham or Grayson could be good compromises because they can both be shortened to Gray.
Graham Ford is nice but I
