Graham
This is one of the names my brother and sister-in-law are considering for their child, it's actually his favorite name. Ever since they told me this name I can't get it out of my head, I love it! But only if it's pronounced GRAY-um. The middle name would be Joseph, so it would be Graham Joseph, what do you think? I hope they choose this one!Auntie to: Robert, Brady, Juliana & Sophia.

I LOVE Graham. I'd be tempted to call him Graham Cracker or Teddy Graham, though, as a pet name. lol Graham Joseph is very, very nice. For some reason, though, I have a problem with G.J. or J.G. as initials; even if the G and J in the names aren't pronounced the same (as in, it's a hard G and not a soft G), it still bothers me for some reason. But I'm weird like that. :b

This is really growing on me two, because of Graham Chapman and also there's a character called Graham in Villette so I was seeing it a lot when reading that.

I adore it. It;s one of my new favourites as well. It's so simple and uncommon, but it's not unheard of. !s: Marissa, Summer, Seth, Ryan and Trey

I dont like the pn. you do, but pn the way I always do, I love it. Graham is a great name, and I have liked it for some time. Joseph is on my list that I will never use, but for someone else's child, Graham Joseph is nice.

I love Graham :-) One of my cousins is named Ross Graeme - I love that combo but I prefer the more traditional spelling.

I have benn in love with the name ever since I first heard of Graham Chapman (see my sig), because of him, but the name is great on its own as well. Graham Joseph is a nice combo, and I must say they have a fine taste in names :-)

Graham is one of the most popular boys' names for my generation (I'm 18) where I live (west Scotland). It's about 50/50 the number of Graeme's and Graham's here. For that reason, I find the name very plain and I'm not fond of "gr" names as a rule. I prefer the spelling Grahame.I'm not a fan of Joseph at all, it's awfully overused._____________________________________________________________________"There are few more distressing sights than that

I've always kind of liked it. For some reason it sounds really Grandpa-ish to me. Not that that's a bad thing, but that's my perception. Some surnames just give me that old perception, Graham is one of them. I like Graham Joseph, sounds nice.Odd tid-bit, it's actually my street name too.

I think it is grandpa-ish too, maybe it's the gra- part?

That's very well possible, that could influence it. But I think even without that connection, it still sounds like an older surname-as-firstname. Not like a lot of surnames that sound rather "new" even if they aren't. Well in my opinion anyway.

Despite the fact that I like the name, I actually find it grand-MA-ish, since we call my grandmother "Gram". haha.

It's not really my style (I don't find it masculine toned), and I think of graham crackers. I do think Joseph Graham would flow better, though.
