Re: How do YOU pronounce Graham?
I've only ever heard GRAY-um (or, in Australian, GRAY'm) and as far as I know, that's correct.Graham Rhys and Graham Walter are fantastic. My cousin is Ross Graeme - I don't like that spelling, but Graham Ross would be another good Graham combo.:-)

I agree with not liking the spelling Graeme (tend to want to say Grey-me). On the other hand, Graham makes us, here in North America, think of graham crackers-can't remember if you have them in Australia? This is a real deterent to using this pleasant name, as the crackers are a popular snack with children!

I think we may have them, but no-one would think of them first when they heard Graham. We have another name for them that's more popular, too (although, what it is currently escapes me!).

So apparently I'll have to move to Austrailia to pronounce it GRAY-um :) After the "safest places to live" discussion in the lounge this might not be a bad idea! ----Betsy-----
