Grayson the new it girl name?

[Anonymous]

I would think this was a boy's name, never heard it being used for girls.

I know two adult female Gracyns. I knew them long before I knew any boy Graysons and I used to love the name but now not so much.

It’s one of those gems that sounds both super pretentious and down-market at the same time. H8.

Really? Why?

Not the OP, but it would take me forever to figure out - it is an insane spelling.

Grae- is pronounced gray, just like brae (as in Bonnie Brae) is pronounced bray. And -cyn is pronounced sin, just like the Cyn- in Cynthia. So, gray-sin (which is how I pronounce Grayson). The English language is full of absurdly complicated and non-phonetic spellings. If you can figure those out (which you do, routinely), then you can figure this out.

Don't care how quickly you can figure this out-it seems like something one of the 16 and pregnant chicks would name their kid.

I'm the pp who knows two adult Gracyns. They are actually both from very wealthy blue-blood families and they are also both quite classy, so it's funny to me that everyone thinks the name is trashy!

I think trying to hard insecure parents. Baby is an accessory but make sure you have two. They have to be gender selected.

I don't think trashy. But pretentious.

Let's face it a pretentious name says a lot about the parents. When I think of class more recently it has been old names. And simple. Grayson/Braden/Jaden are all ridiculous names. These are parents that are about appearance. Mom has someone else take care of her kids so at 6 weeks she can go back to work and then spend two hours at the gym. House is a museum because it is cold and gray with a lonely neglected baby name Grayson. She will be sweet and adored as long as she pretty and thin. God help her if she isn't cute or chubby.

I think that this says a lot more about you than about somebody who names their baby Grayson.

(No, I did not name my baby Grayson. My children have English-Hanoverian-royalty names.)

OP here. It took me awhile because it just seemed "wrong" and honestly, ugly spelled that way. And I did figure it out. It just took me longer than if it had been spelled "Grayson."

Nothing is wrong with Grace. But we can't all name our children Grace. That is why people give their children names that are not Grace.

Well yes, but if you want a name that starts with the sound G R AE S, then Grace is a lovely choice.

But not the only lovely choice.
