Thoughts on 'Gray' as a middle name only for either a boy or a girl.
 
(I don't quite see it as strong enough for a first name but think it's a nice middle. I think pairing with a more feminine or more masculine first makes it able to go either way.)

Meh, don't like for a middle name.

I like Grayson as a first name, with Gray as a nn though.

I know a little girl named Grey ;) And her brother is named Phoenix (Nix for short)

That makes me think X-Men so much. But I'm a nerd like that I guess. Because Jean Grey is Phoenix.

I think it would work very well as a middle name for either, but it's not my style. Fits in with the kind of different middle name but still a filler category to me.

It works as a middle name, in my opinion. Actress Emmy Rossum's middle name is Grey.

I like Gray as a middle name although I like the Grey spelling better. One of my friend's middle name is Gray (Grey?). It was her Mom's maiden name.

I love it, it's on my list as a middle name, though spelled Grey. I think I only have it one list, but at the moment, I can't remember which...boy, I think.

For whatever reason I like the spelling Grey better as well, but I agree it would be nice with a boy or girl's name.

Love it for a boy. On a girl, it just feels like someone forgot to finish "Grace."

I like it. I have cousins whose last name is Gray.

I like it and considered it, on both genders.

I went to school with a Grey. He had the unfortunate last name of "Hair" though. He was two years ahead of me, but his sister (with the normal name "Leslie") was in my grade.

Yeah, I always wondered why his parents did that to him and yet gave Leslie such a normal name.

When we were brainstorming names while pregnant, we decided on Nolan Grayson for our son, intent on calling him Gray (family tradition to go by middle names)... he was born and he is much more of a Nolan than Gray and I wish we had used Gray as his mn instead of Grayson. So yes, I LOVE Gray and think it would suit either gender!

I think it works nicely both ways. I like it.

Not really my style; prefer it for a boy.

It's not my taste, but I think it would be okay as long as the baby's first name wasn't Meredith (it would be too Grey's Anatomy for me then).
