[Opinions] Re: Grey
in reply to a message by Martha
It seems trendy to me, because I know 3 kids under 10 (all my cousins' kids) with Gray / Grey in their name: Grayson, Greyson "Grey", Emma Grey.
The color grey is lackluster...the mom of the "Grey" I know...all her decor and walls are grey, plus she wears grey 80-90% of the time...I don't think she consciously picked Greyson just because grey is her favorite color (which I don't understand at all), but it's a little funny to me that she did pick it, even though I like color names.
If I dwell on it, I am vaguely reminded of 50 Shades of Grey, which is like...the epitome of mediocrity and bad taste?
Overall, I think it sounds generic, but I don't dislike it because I know so many, and it sounds almost warm, friendly.
It's not annoying to me the way Jack / Jackson "Jack" and Grace annoy me.
I react to it kind of how I'd react to Clay, Jaden "Jade", Grant, Jay.

Oh Lord, I had forgotten about 50 shades. Ugh.
