Love it. The only downside is the pronunciation. I'm an American, but I have always pronounced the name "GRAY-um." Apparently, I'm all alone here in the U.S. :-(

I love it. I used to only think of graham crackers also, but I love old-fashioned underused names with a British feel and this is definitely one imo. ~Heather~

I've always liked it. It sounds like the name of someone who is sensitive and thoughtful. I prefer the spelling Graeme though.

You've never heard it pro. GREY-um? GREY-um is the pro. we have in NZ and also in Aus I think. I only know it can be pro. GRAM because of this site. There was a thread about the pro. of it once.

In this part of the country (I live near Boston) I've only ever heard it as Gram. I've known boys named Graham but also know people with Graham as a surname and that is how they pronounce it.
