My daughter has a girl in her pre-school class named Grae. She spells it with an e at the end instead of y. She is a beautiful 5 year with long hair that reaches her butt. The name Grae is a character from the movie The Color Purple. I think it sounds cool for a girl. Grae's mother just had a baby girl named Dillon, I am not sure how she is spelling Dillon.

Sad, dour, dishwater. :-/ I'd go for a happier color, if any.
Interested in Pembe? I'm getting hooked on Turkish names. :-) They don't always sound pretty to me, but they make up for it by being interesting or quirky. For the bold there's sari (Turkish for "yellow"; there shouldn't be a dot on that i, but the correct symbol doesn't show up in my message), mavi (blue), siyah (black), mor (purple), or kirmizi (red; again, no dots on the i's). ;-)
Or maybe Liadan, Nila, Nigella, Iole, Midori, Chloe, Siena, etc. It's not color associations that bug me; I just can't get on board with Gray. It's so dull. Even obvious possibilities like Cyan, Lavender, Auburn, Scarlet, Crimson, Violet, Rose, Olive, Indigo, Saffron, Teal, whatever else. For some reason I react to Gray as unfavorably as a punch to the stomach.
If the "Gr" is what you like, Grace, Greer, Greta, Griet, or Greet all sound better to me.

I love Turkish names, too. :-D

I like them more
now that I have an idea of how to pronounce them. Of course my Turkish pronunciation skills are horrendous, but that's a half step up from non-existant.
BtN is a great site, but the one thing I find myself wishing fairly often that it had were more pronunciations so I didn't have to wing it as often. :-)

There's a site
That has a long list of Turkish names that you can click to hear. Not sure of the URL, but it's fairly extensive. I learned quite a bit about Turkish names teaching ESL.

I dislike it on a girl.

Grey is a miserable colour anyway, and I just can't see it on a person.

I know a girl named Gray. I think it's nice enough. Not really my style, but nice enough. :)

I knew a female Gray.
I met her during an interview. It was hilarious, three women with very unusual, usually masculine names (mine is used more as a female name now, but not when I was growing up) - Gray, Francois, and Haven.
I honestly can't see Gray on either gender, it's a color to me, but it's not terrible on a girl.
