Don't like it
It reminds me of gravy or grating. I don't like the sound of it. I prefer Brady.
My grandfather's, uncle's, and cousin's middle names are Grady so I have a soft spot for it. One of them goes by Grady. It's not getting much love here, but it ranks #395 which is higher than I thought.
He sounds like a member of a big blond Mormon family.
Not a fan
It sounds like the kind of name someone who was writing a not very flattering fiction about USA people without actually knowing any might be expected to invent for satirical purposes. At least, I hope that's what it sounds like! I really hope it doesn't occur with any real frequency.
There's something about it that sounds kind of Deliverance-y to me, like the worst kind of dark backwoods "hillbilly" stereotype. It kind of gives me the shivers.
I don't like it, it sounds grating and unpleasant, and also kind of childish. It also reminds me of gravy.
