Help[Opinions] Graham
This is one of the names my brother and sister-in-law are considering for their child, it's actually his favorite name. Ever since they told me this name I can't get it out of my head, I love it! But only if it's pronounced GRAY-um. The middle name would be Joseph, so it would be Graham Joseph, what do you think? I hope they choose this one!

I LOVE Graham. I'd be tempted to call him Graham Cracker or Teddy Graham, though, as a pet name. lol Graham Joseph is very, very nice. For some reason, though, I have a problem with G.J. or J.G. as initials; even if the G and J in the names aren't pronounced the same (as in, it's a hard G and not a soft G), it still bothers me for some reason. But I'm weird like that. :b

I have benn in love with the name ever since I first heard of Graham Chapman (see my sig), because of him, but the name is great on its own as well. Graham Joseph is a nice combo, and I must say they have a fine taste in names :-)

Graham is one of the most popular boys' names for my generation (I'm 18) where I live (west Scotland). It's about 50/50 the number of Graeme's and Graham's here. For that reason, I find the name very plain and I'm not fond of "gr" names as a rule. I prefer the spelling Grahame.
I'm not a fan of Joseph at all, it's awfully overused.

I've always kind of liked it. For some reason it sounds really Grandpa-ish to me. Not that that's a bad thing, but that's my perception. Some surnames just give me that old perception, Graham is one of them. I like Graham Joseph, sounds nice.
Odd tid-bit, it's actually my street name too.

That's very well possible, that could influence it. But I think even without that connection, it still sounds like an older surname-as-firstname. Not like a lot of surnames that sound rather "new" even if they aren't. Well in my opinion anyway.

Despite the fact that I like the name, I actually find it grand-MA-ish, since we call my grandmother "Gram". haha.
