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.

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.

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.

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.

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