Well, with possibly only 3 weeks to go, we weren't any closer last week to having a name for him than we were 6 months ago. For a while we were pretty close to deciding on Noah, but then it just didn't feel like the right one.
My hubby hasn't had any names that he has liked all along. That has been the hard part. But yesterday we took a road trip to see some family and I tried to steer the conversation toward various boy names that I consider half way decent. Finally, I brought up Grayson, which he had liked as a middle name possibility when we were considering Noah. He grabbed onto it and has been talking about it ever since. I am still not a hundred percent on it, but it is a nice name. It also happens to be my husband's hometown.
Our other children are Micah and Allison (Allie). I don't know how well it goes with those, but it is ok I guess. I always had my heart set on another Bible boy name, but there just hasn't been one that my hubby and I can agree on. I really feel like Grayson is a totally different style than either of the other two, does it seem like that to you?
Then there is the question of the middle name. We have two ideas, one is sort of mine and one is my husbands'.
Mine is...
Grayson Lewis
his is...
Grayson Zane
Now, I love the name Zane, I think it sounds good too, but it is a little more out there. Also, there is something about it that I find really funny when paired wit Grayson, I wonder if any of you can guess what that is.
As for Lewis, that is my grandfather's name and I just think it sounds nice and our other two have family names as middles too.
Sorry this is so long, but I would really like to hear your opinions and we aren't sharing our name ideas with family and friends till he is here and the name is set, so I can't talk about it with anyone else right now.
ps. Do any of you have or know a Grayson? Does it seem super trendy to you? Or more classic sounding than some of the other popular names now? What do you think of Gray as a nickname? What do you think of Gray as a name on it's own?
Thanks for your input!
