[Opinions] Greyson, Grayson
It's a bit out of character for me to like this, but I think it has a handsome sound.Not sure I like the way it looks that much, but I think I prefer Greyson. I say that Grayson is much more popular, though.Which spelling do you prefer and why?

I can see why people like this. It's the new, cooler Jason; it's the boy version of Grace. I like the sound, but the way it looks always left me feeling cold. It feels like the perfect McMansion early 2000s influenced name - designed so carefully to be blandly, inoffensively elegant, but empty and soulless as a result. I'm not sure what spelling I prefer... Grayson or Greyson? I think Greyson might be worse for me.
Grayson at least has those vaulted ceilings, so some light can get in. It feels more open and airy.
I like the name (but I like a lot of surname names). It has a popular sound -ason (Jason, Mason etc.). I guess Greyson looks more namey and Grayson looks more wordy.
Don't like the name but I prefer Greyson for the spelling
I like both names a lot. Greyson looks better because it seems more like a name. I prefer Grey on its own even more. Gray and Grayson remind me more of the color which is not an issue, but I do not think it's an attractive color in general.
Not a huge fan of the name but I prefer it spelt Greyson. I like the look of the e in grey.
I also prefer Greyson, maybe because Gray is the spelling of the color in American English and therefore Greyson looks more like a name to me. A childhood friend of mine used Greyson for their son, though, so it's off limits for me (even though I do enjoy it).
Hate the name but prefer grey to gray
Same here. Greyson is the only spelling I'd use, in pure hypothetical terms of course. It just looks better.
I prefer Greyson, it just looks better to me.

Grayson because I'm American and think gray looks better spelled that way.
