Battle of the first names

We are stuck between Xander Greyson or Kingston Greyson for our baby boy. We really like both, and we really want Greyson since my husband's name is Greg. Help! Please give us your vote. Thanks!

Can you do Kingston Grey? Kingston Greyson is too rhyme-y.

Kingston! but if you go with Xander, please spell it with a Z, this spelling bugs me. 

 

edit: I don't know if I like them both ending with "son" but I prefer Kingston over Xander still.

I vote for Xander. Great name!

 

Also I know you didn't ask this and perhaps you've explained it already (didn't read any responses), but if you want to honor your husband, I think i'd just use Gregory. Greg & Greyson don't seem similiar to me. Just my unsolicited advice :)

Greyson means son of Gregory in the English origin, hence using it in place of Greg (since he's always been a junior and didn't want to use his name).

I'm not loving Xander no matter how much I try.  And I agree with others about Kingston Greyson.  (As it turns out my own first and last name end with "-son" and it is hard to say clearly)

How about Kingsley Greyson?

A collegue of mine is named Kingsley.  The only person I know with that name.  I love it and he is a super nice, intelligent guy!

I'd like to suggest Grayson as FN. :)

Otherwise, I like Xander Grey or Kingston Grey.

Xander Greg

Xander Gregory

Xander Grey

or Xander Greyson

 

And don't spell Xander as Zander. Don't dumb it down for people. It just makes the parents look...just no.

All of this, but especially the last part.

I really dislike Kingston. It just feels kind of pretentious to me to name your child "King." But even if I liked it, I agree with the PPs that said it doesn't flow well.

ETA: I'm generally not a fan of -son names, but I really like your reasoning for choosing Greyson.

I love Kingston!  I don't really love it with your middle name choice though.  Xander def flows better with that name.
