Right but when the kids are young, you almost can't help but have some cutesy name for them (even if it's not an official name). I heard a mom at the playground today calling her son "Grammy" and "Grams". Ugh.

I'm not a huge fan of this name in practice. Doesn't lend itself to a good nickname. "Grammie" is not a good one.

I knew a Graeme once. Don't know if he was Scottish but his family was very well off so I assumed it was an "upper class" spelling. I prefer it even though I tend to prefer traditional names and spellings.

Crackers.
That's all I can think of when I see that name.

If you are Scottish, go for it. Otherwise it's a very ethnic and unusual spelling that appears to be trying too hard. Would you rather have your child constantly correcting people as to what his name is (both pronunciation and spelling) for his entire life or endure a few short years of the lame but harmless "graham cracker" joke?
Agreed - if you have Irish or Scottish in your background and it's a part of your identity, then you can pull off the ethnic spelling. If not then it definitely is weird and trying too hard to be different. Graham is a very nice name.
I like the name a lot, but would go with Graham. (It was high on my list.)

I like Graeme better. It is much more authentic and no cracker affiliations.

It's not quite pronounced the same, but in the US I guess it would be.
