Grayson

Thoughts on Grayson? It's been growing on me. I'm not worried about the popularity.

I really like it along with Emerson and Harrison.  Pretty much like the -son surname feel for boys.

This one is just okay for me.  I don't dislike it, but there are others that top it IMO.

It's a little too trendy/popular for my taste. I used to like it before it blew up.

I wouldn't use it and I am tired of it, but it's not the worst name out there.

I like it, and I don't typically like that style of name.

DH has a cousin Greyson or is it Graysen?  I should prolly know that...

There was a reason Greyer was used in The Nanny Diaries.

Grayson just hits me over the head with its trendiness.  I don't care for it.

I could get behind Gray... in the middle name spot.

I am surprised at myself that I like it as well.

I also like the NN option of Gray.

My first question is "for a boy or a girl?"  I personally prefer names that are clearer, but that doesn't have to matter to everyone! 

 I think it's a pretty name, but think it's very trendy and we won't know babies named Grayson in 20 years. Something to think about.

Agree.

If you're concerned about trendiness, you might try Graham — my brother's name is Graham and his childhood nn was Gray.

For a boy. I don't like -son names on girls.

I don't worry to much about what is trendy and what is not.

I don't consider it trendy, but that's likely because the only Grayson I know is the one I went to elementary school with, and that was quite a while ago (I'm 37!).  He was pretty annoying, but other than that, I like the name. :-)

Grayson is our #1 for a boy. 

I was really flabbergasted when I saw it on a 2012 "trendy names" list.  It's really not popular at all in my area.  We actually thought of it because it is the last name of an acquaintance and we liked it for a first name.

I'm really annoyed that it has become "trendy".  We might still use it, but now I'm just not sure.  :0(

As long as it is on a boy I think it is ok. I can not stand it on a girl.
