What do you think of Craig?

yuck. don't like it.

I have a cousin named Craig James who goes by CJ.

don't like. it makes me think of crack and 80's surf movies.

Sounds too much like "Greg", which isn't bad, but can be bad if you have to repeat yourself 100x saying, "No, CRAIG."

I like it, but I wouldn't use it. I had a cousin with that name.

Really don't like it.

don't like it

I'm pretty indifferent about it. I'm not particularly fond of it, but I definitely don't hate it either. It's ok. And nicer than Greg, in my opinion.

It reminds me of Daniel Craig. I think it's okay.

Makes me think of Degrassi.

I don't mind it but I see it as regional. Most Craigs I know live in rural areas or are from the Midwest. Not a bad thing but I categorize Craig as much like Dale, Eric, Keith, etc.

Hmm. I don't hate it, but I am not feeling the love either. My FIL has that name and it is probably the only name we did not consider in our families as a name for our son.

I don't like it, but probably because of the negative association with a mean teenager who teased me and scared me when I was little.
I also second the issue of having to reply, "No, not Greg, Craig!" Neither name impresses me.

Does Greg even exist as surname?
I am glad you have not had to deal with that.

My maternal grandfather and eldest maternal uncle were/are (respectively) Craig. I like it, but it's not a favorite. I love the way they say it on Degrassi though... if you're Canadian I say go for it! Lol.

Haha. Not gonna lie, I've totally been thinking about it because of Degrassi. It is quite nice the way Canadians say it.

It's weird when Americans think Craig and Greg sound alike because in Australia they would never be confused. Craig is pronounced Craaaayg over here.

Anyway, I have a friend called Craig but aside from him I associate it strictly with older people. I'm not really a fan. It's just... pretty boring.
