Love the name. My first association is the former governor of California. Anyway, great choice!


Totally agree on all counts!

Gray is US, Grey UK. You choose which one you think puts across the message you like. I think the name is more commonly spelled Gray, though.

I grew up with a Gray, but I don't think it was short for anything else. Never heard anyone else use it, though.

Don't listen to these mean bored old housewives.. I think it's adorable. I would do Grey.

From now until your baby is born, your DH should introduce himself as Grey to strangers and you should refer to him as Gray with strangers when out and about.

Basically, try it out on your son's behalf....for his sake.

Read about this approach for "testing" unusual names in an article. Seems like a good idea.

Name him Graham and call him Gray. "Gray" is the more common spelling in the US, and "Gray" is cute for a child but not for an adult.

I like it and would most likely go with the Grey spelling -- but I know a 12-year-old boy named Grey, so that feels more familiar.

Either is pretentious; Grey would be more affected.

I know two male Greysons. Gray looks yucky to me - like the dingy color. Grey looks like it's short for Greyson.

If it is the sound of Gray you like, I'd probably opt for Greg or Craig instead. It's probably what he'll be called anyway.
