Gray

Ok as a middle name, not a first name!

I honestly prefer the prettier color names, like Violet, Azure, Amber, etc. But in my opinion, the name Gray is best suited as a middle name. As a first name it’s just weird. Worse than Grayson in my opinion.

My friend and her boyfriend have a cute little boy with middle name Gray. I wouldn’t use it as a first name, but as a middle name it’s so cute. It’s definitely a southern name!

Don't like it.

I really wouldn't use this as a first name, because nouns and colours for names are kind of grim, but it's a classic, SCOTTISH surname. My surname is Gray, and it's commonly misspelt as Grey, but what can you do.

I usually don't mind color names. I love Hazel and Violet but Gray is too far. Why would you name a kid after a depressing color? It has an awful sound to it and just... no!

My son's name is Gray. We love it. We have only met one other Gray. I think it’s a strong name. I have only met a few people who didn’t like it. Most people adore it.

I find this name to be simple and cool sounding on either sex. Like the name of a leather-wearing bad boy/girl. I much prefer it over Grayson.

It's okay as a nickname for Graham or something like that. But please don't use it as an independent name.

My mother was going to name me Grayson but it sounded sloppy with my two middle names, and on top of that, my last name is Moody.. How ironic, lol. And to add to that, my eyes were bright blue when I was born and I had blonde hair. Now my hair has darkened to brunette and I have deep Gray eyes.

I adore this name... but for a girl! I think it could work for both genders, but I just like it more for a girl :)

It looks like someone misspelled Gary. It's OK said out loud though, the spelling is just... weird.

Please. Don't name your kid after a color!

I've met a few Grays and they have all been male. I like this name. It's simple and would be especially nice for someone with gray eyes, although I suppose it's impossible to tell if your child is going to have gray eyes.

My name is Gray- short for my middle name, Grace. I love my name. It's unusual, but not too unusual. I've never met another girl named Gray.

Weird, I always thought this was a girl's name, short for Grace or Grayce or however it is you want to spell it.

I think Gray sounds extremely mature. When I think of a man named I Gray I think of someone incredibly serious minded.

I'm not against using color names as names for people. I like the name Cyan very much, and cyan is a color. It's just that this really seems more like a nickname. It's not very mature or serious. I'd pick Grayson over this and call the boy Gray.

I really like this name. A lot of people I know think it is simple or dull, but I think it can convey a lot. I do feel that this name is better suited for a boy though. In my opinion, "Gray" seems like a thoughtful and masculine name.

I love this name for a girl! I feel like such a weirdo saying that but I think Gray is such a different and cool name. It's very intelligent, beautiful, and calming.

I like this name, but never for a girl! It's very masculine and grown up to me.

I know a girl named Gray. I usually loathe masculine names being used on girls, but somehow this is the only exception: it suits her perfectly.
