HelpWDYTO Graham?
My SIL babysat a little baby boy named Graham the other day. I'm not sure how I feel about it. At times I think it is a nice name. Other times, I just think of graham crackers.

Hey, me too!
I think of graham crackers, too.
By the way, I brought back my squirrel signature!

I like Graham a lot...it has a really nice sound. My friend's little brother was going to be named Graham, but they named him Bram instead because they didn't want people to making fun of him and calling him "gram" (as in grandma). :-p
I don't really think of graham crackers or grandmas when I hear the name Graham, I just think it sounds nice.

I like it
I've always liked it. I'd consider using it, but I believe it was crossed off by my husband in the first round of name eliminations, so I take that to mean he doesn't like it.
I get the graham cracker association of course, but for some reason it's never made me think of graham crackers. Even though I like to eat them. I don't see what the big deal is even if people did think about graham crackers. They're tasty.

I know two guys named Graham. One is a current aquaintance. His fn is actually Benjamin, but he goes by his mn, Graham. The other, I knew in highschool, and he was from one of the plain states in middle America. They're both between 25-30.
Both pronounce it GRAM, with a short A, rhymes with ham. I've never heard it pronounced GRAY-hm.
Do you like Grant? I went to school with a Grant. He's about 26. And I know a 9 year old named Grant. It's just a bit more classic and refined than Graham. But I like both.

It's surname-ish. It's a food. That detracts two points each. (6)
It's difficult to pronounce. That's another two. (4)
It's aesthetically pleasing. That's two points for it. (6)
There's either a celebrity influence, or there should be. ;p That's one point off. (5)
That makes Graham a 5 on my charts. :D

It depends on how you pronounce it. I love it pronounced GRAYM but don't really care for it pronounced GRAY-um. I like the other form of it, Graeme better.

I love it. I grew up watching a steady diet of PBS so BBC / British names like Graham are very familiar to me.
One thing, I don't like the "gram" pronunciation. I only like it if it's said, "GRAY-um," like Alexander Graham Bell.
My favorite mn with it is John. Graham John sound like a still-waters-run-deep kind of a guy.
