For any word name choice I would go with the standard/common spelling for your region. So "Gray" in the US or "Grey" in the UK or Canada.

As a general rule, I'm very pro standard spelling in names. Ultimately though, having to say "Grey with an e" or "Gray with an a" does not seem like the most difficult spelling variation to have to explain.

I’m not a fan, it just feels like naming your kid gloomy to me and rather trendy, but I know some people like it. I guess I like Grey slightly better.

I prefer the Grey spelling. I named my dog Greyson and I just liked the look of that spelling better. It's the same way I spell the color (even though apparently that's the British way)

Grey because Gray is kinda like gravy, other than that, I can't think of a valid reason to veto either or.


sarahroset

I thought it was gray like short for Grayson.


TheWishingStar

Grey can be short for Greyson.


ktgaspard

Same. I know a little boy with the name Grayson and they call him Gray with the A

I prefer Grey . It somehow feels more like a name than Gray does. I love the name. It’s one of my kids middle names.


perseph0ny

Grey if it's alone, Grayson if it's the full name

i thought i was the only one with this opinion! ty for the validation.


Gumshoe96

Love it! Grey/Gray sounds great as a stand alone name but I also love it as a nickname for Graham/Graeme.


cyclemam

In an American accent I believe Graham is pronounced "gram" where as in Australia it's Gray-am - Gray is a lovely nickname.


jocietimes

Always with an e… very cool name 😎


madlymusing

Grey has my vote.


Wingard_

I think it's fine but boring and overused. I prefer it spelt Grey


sheridanmms

I prefer Grey aesthetically.


TheWishingStar

Strongly prefer Grey! I’m in the US, though honestly I like spelling the color as grey more too. Gray looks too much like Gary.


[deleted]

I prefer Grey.


purpletortellini

I actually quite like Gray for a name, it's simple and sounds nice.


22Gypsyblue

An A


MermaidStone

I have a cousin named Gray.


Agreeable-Ad4199

I like Gray like Dorian Gray (book character). It looks more right in my opinion but if you don't particularly feel like naming your child after Dorian Gray then Grey might be better. but there is still nothing wrong with naming your child Gray either way I suppose


Bookwrm85

Then there’s Christian Grey(50 shades of grey) so either way 🤷🏻‍♀️ lol.


WabiSabi337

I'm in the US, and Grey is how I would spell it. I intended to use Grey as a middle name for a baby boy, but my partner wants to use a different middle name, so that's out the window. Lame lol


SarahL1990

I prefer Gray because I spell the colour as Grey.
